He is home with the Lord.

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; May the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Fr. Bill Sullivan, who peacefully entered into his eternal reward earlier today, surrounded by his loving family. Please keep Fr. Bill in your prayers, asking our Lord Jesus Christ to grant him eternal rest (Matthew 25:21), and pray also for the consolation of his family, his brother priests, and the many parish families he faithfully served in over 50 years of priestly ministry.

Having retired as the pastor of St. John the Baptist in New Haven in June of 2021, Fr. Bill continued in his priestly ministry by assisting at various parishes throughout the area. Most weekdays, he could be found at St. John the Baptist in Fort Wayne, St. Aloysius in Yoder, or our own St. Joseph’s, concelebrating Mass, assisting with confessions, and visiting with parishioners.

Visitation will be held at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church on Fairfield Avenue on Tuesday, February 24th from 3:00-7:00 PM, with a Rosary and vigil service starting at 6:30 PM. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church on Fairfield Avenue on Wednesday, February 25th at 11:00 AM, with visitation one hour before; Bishop Kevin Rhoades officiating. Burial will follow at Catholic Cemetery in Fort Wayne.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.

More information to follow when Fr. Bill's obituary is shared.
