Father Bill Halbing Tribute

We pay tribute to Fr. Bill Halbing who passed away on Monday, February 21, 2022 from a heart attack.

I am happy for Fr. Bill, but I sure miss him. I am sure you miss him too.

He loved our annual conference and often said that it was his Christmas every year!  He loved participating and also loved being with STAS family.  By now, we truly are family.

Everyone would look forward to seeing Fr. Bill every year.  He fed us spiritually and also kept us laughing and looking up.

An impromptu moment recorded in fun with Fr. Bill at the Colorado Springs conference July 2021.  It is an interview with Annie Karto and Patrick and Joy Campbell. Very fun and we know you will enjoy it!   Fast forward to minute 44:00 to view.
