Fr. Hilgartner to head BCDW

You probably heard this yesterday – Fr. Richard Hilgartner will succeed Msgr. Anthony Sherman at the head of the BCDW. Sad to lose Msgr. Sherman, of course, but happy for the Church that Rick Hilgartner is there.

    BCDW AND a doctoral program? God bless him! I assume gifts of coffee will be appreciated.

    Rick is a good guy, and knows his stuff. He will be a real asset to the committee, in my opinion.
