Father Bill Atkinson

Father Bill Atkinson - Servant of God 

Born in Philadelphia, Father Atkinson is the first quadriplegic ordained as a priest in the history of the Church. As a proud alumni, he was stationed at Monsignor Bonner High School for almost thirty years (1975-2004). There, he served on the faculty and as assistant school chaplain, moderator of the football team, and director of the afterschool and Saturday detention program.

He is now in the process to become a recognized saint of the Catholic Church, as several local miracles have been attributed to his intercession.
