So sad to see these churches sold. I went to grade school at St. William (I was clearly not the BEST student, as can be testified by the nuns there). Wish I could do something to save the building and property. They had a neat ball field and huge parking lot. I remember Father Boul, too. He called me just before I was to be married, and wished me a happy and healthy life with my new husband. Now, who could ask for a more lovely phone call. Father Boul actually baptized me, too. Thanks for helping me to dredge up the memories.
