As we announced at our Masses this past Sunday, Fr. Glen Willis, SDS, was called home to the Lord last Saturday, March 8th. As many of our parishioners know, Fr. Willis faithfully served at St. John the Baptist for many years as a weekend associate, blessing our parish community with his warmth, kindness, and music. A priest of the Society of the Divine Savior (Salvatorians), Fr. Glen also served for many years at Camp St. Charles in southern Maryland.
Please keep Fr. Willis's family and loved ones in you prayers, as well as members of the Salvatorian community, during this difficult time.
