DEAR FATHER ATKINSON: How can my parish find out about your story and life, Everything was amazing . Got to hand it to Paul6 and your Augutinian community and Cardinal Krol. I intend to do a road trip to visit your remains in the chapel. You were indeed a hard worker to get to that ordination and hard worker to all those guys at Bonner (Ryan grad here) By the way my cousin Ralph played football at Villanova in 1961 they got to the Sun Bowel even though I was 3 I know my family...

Dearest Father Bill, Fr Tom McCarthy made me aware of your story when preaching at our Parish's Mission. I know you are on the path to Sainthood and believe you will need proclaimed a Saint. Please send Healing Graces & Blessings to my sister, Jeanne, who had already battled Cancer through chemotherapy & radiation five years ago and now needs a lung biopsy. Please intercede on her behalf and ensure she is cancer free. Thank you, Karen Doody

Hi Father Atk, I really miss you. Me and my family could really use your help. I know in my heart there is canonization in your future and now is the time for it to happen. Please see my father through his fight and help him somehow overcome the odds.

Good Morning Fr. Bill, It's Mercy Sunday!!!! Please intercede on my behalf. I am continuing to pray I see your canonization to sainthood. Thank you for continuing to watch over me. I say it all the time my continued success is because I had the honor being one of your nurses.

You will be forever be remembered and cherished in our hearts and memories. You were one of the most kind priests I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I will strive to emulate your example through Christ as a Catholic school teacher and servant of the Lord .

Father Bill,
There is a student of yours who needs a miracle.
His name is Bill. He remembers you.
At this point your intercession is NEEDED.
Please ask Our Lady too.
