Fr. Bill was my Spiritual Director and Good Friend. He was like a father to me! I really miss him. He was a literal modern day saint and he had supernatural gifts like some of the greatest saints had. I often benefited from those giftes and charisms! The amazing testimonies and stories I could share! The miracles! Jesus spoke to me many times through Fr. Bill! I really miss this priest!

Father Bill, , one of the most extraordinary persons, really a saint, I have ever met. He set an example for all of us who wish to use Christ´s Message as a guidebook for our lives. May he remember all of us in his prayers from heaven. Gratefully, David G. O´Brien

His wise advice made a huge difference in my life. I am forever grateful. I know he aided thousands. A model for all of us. More than any other priest, he reminded me of Christ.

What a grace and gift you were to me at a most difficult time in my life! I will never forget your love for me and everyone--the true love of God the Father. You represented His love to us so beautifully. Thank you Fr Bill, and please...

Bill" was: "A Priest", and a: "friend to all"; -a warm, loving, Priest, -endowed with a magnanimous heart, magnetic personality, and possessing astounding endless energy! --Bubbling over with joy, and "reaching out"- with: "ease and know-how" -to as many people as he could possibly encompass during his entire...

I met Fr. McCarthy at the age of 8 years old while I was a student at St. Francis of Assisi School, in Torrington, CT. Meeting and becoming a young friend of this phenomenal human being, Father McCarthy is a man who has left a forever presence in my heart for so many reasons. My family moved from Torrington, CT, to Juno Beach, FL, when I had turned seventeen. Emotionally I never left this phenomenal human being behind~he remained, and will remain, in my heart and prayers forever. For so...

Fr. Bill had a big impact on my life. I loved going to the retreat center when I lived in Connecticut. I went as often as I could. May Fr. Bill Rest In Peace!
