2 /5 Linda Mannheim: Father Bill, who was the Pastor when I started going to St. Judes, was a wonderful, caring priest who listened to all his parishioners equally. I miss him very much.
I went to church every Sunday to the 5:00 PM mass. I looked forward to Sundays mass. I learned so much about our Gospel.
He had a gift of making you feel that you were back in Jesuss time witnessing everything that look place and really understanding the meaning.
The Pastor who took over the parish is almost the complete opposite in personality to him. This is my personal experience. Hes not very friendly.The last time I tried to talk to him, he cut me off. My daughter witnessed this and was speechless. I was sorry to leave a parish that I was a member of for over 30 years. Im sorry for how things ended up, but when your Pastor treats you like this it hurts you to the core of your being. It broke my heart. I live in Oregon now and belong to a wonderful Catholic church community. This took place about 2yrs ago.
