Alive” by knowing, loving, and
serving God. Through study, piety,
and action, in imitation of the
Saints, we answer God’s call to
stewardship.
Our weekly bulletin is one of the

Father William “Bill” Metzger ~ Rest In Peace
Father William J. Metzger, long-serving priest in the Diocese of
Columbus, died November 4,
2014. Fr. Bill’s brother Steve
was pastor at St. Joseph. In
this picture to the right, Fr.
Bill was helping with a Cum
Christo weekend in 2007
with Elaine Bonacci. Fr. Bill
also occasionally celebrated Mass for us when Fr.
Pat was away.
The Metzgers are known for their simple, devote lives. Both Fr. Bill, God rest his soul, and
Fr. Steve have blessed us with their gentle loving spirits.
