On Saturday, August 22nd, Fr. William F. Pentis, C.O., the Oratorian community of Rock Hill and the many parishioners from our parishes in York County celebrated the 50th anniversary of Fr. William's entry into the novitiate in 1959. The Mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary was celebrated at noon in the Oratory Church followed by a luncheon in Blessed Pope John XXIII Center.
Fr. William has served in most of our parishes in York Co. through the years and been involved with the Summer Religion Camp for 38 years. He is also active with the South Carolina Council of Catholic Women.
Fr. William made his seminary studies at Mundelein Seminary at the University of St. Mary of the Lake, Mundelein, Illinois and finished his studies at Catholic University in Washington, D.C.
We are all very fortunate for Fr. William's decision to exercise his ministerial call at the Rock Hill Oratory. May he enjoy many more years (in semi-retirement, of course!!)
