Celebrating the life of Fr. Bill Pitcavage

SCJs, family, former parishioners, staff and friends filled Good Shepherd Chapel at Sacred Heart at Monastery Lake this afternoon to celebrate the life of Fr. Bill Pitcavage. He died on March 22. During the visitation prior to the Mass, many shared stories of Fr. Bill's generosity, his way of being fully present to others. Former classmates told stories that brought laughter in the midst of tears. Dn. David Nagel was the homilist for the Mass of Christian Burial and Fr. Ed Kilianski was the main celebrant. Fr. Bill was interred in the community mausoleum immediately after the Mass.
