The symposium discussed Fr. Bill’s life and the Cause for his beatification and canonization as well as the theology of disability with a keynote presentation, “The Spirituality of Disability,” by Brendan T. Sammon, Ph.D., Associate Professor at Saint Joseph’s University, and a presentation by Oblate Father Thomas F. Dailey, Professor of Theology at Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary. Archbishop Nelson Pérez also offered a greeting to those in attendance. (Photos: Sarah Webb)
