The Reverend William Donald McLean III

On the occasion of his 85th birthday, May 15, 2021, I am remembering my friend and sometime priest, Bill McLean, both with sadness for his absence from this world, and with joy for the breadth and creativity of his ministry as a priest and as a wounded healer. As a seminarian, Bill was our popular high school Sunday School teacher and youth group/retreat leader while Curate at Mediator in Chicago. After his ordination in 1961, which I attended, he became Father Bill but was no less...

This was posted on Good Shepherd facebook page by Thomas K. Boardman A wonderful man. He certainly was the right person at the right time for Good Shepherd LaBelle. I was privileged to serve as his Senior Warden. I have missed him since he retired and will miss him all the more, now. May he rest in peace
