Bill is survived by his wife, Corinne (Chair of the Basilica's Finance Council); his brother, Doug Henderson of Austin, Texas; his children, Scot Henderson, Robyn (Garrison) Elder, Mills Simon (one of the Basilica's livestream technicians), and Julia (Bo) Ray; and his three beloved grandchildren, Georgia Grace Elder, Stallings Elder, and Tinsley Ray.

The traditional Ember Days of fasting for Advent are Wed., Fri., and Sat., Sept. 17, 19, and 20. While a fast is not obligatory, it is a worthy traditional spiritual practice to fast or abstain in some way on one or more of these days.
All parishioners are invited to support our Youth Ministry by cooking or delivering a dinner or donating toward the weekly cost ($200-$300). Sign up to sponsor a Wed. 6pm dinner here:
