    Servant of God, Father Bill Atkinson, O.S.A 
    (photo: augustinian.org)

    The church has begun the process of investigation for the Sainthood of Father Atkinson. William Edward Atkinson, O.S.A., entered the Order of St. Augustine as a novice on September 9, 1964. In 1965, while still in formation, he was injured in a near-fatal tobogganing accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down. Nevertheless, he endured in his desire to continue as an Augustinian.

    With a special dispensation from Pope Paul VI, Bill was ordained to the priesthood on February 2, 1974, almost nine years after the accident that left him a quadriplegic. Father Atkinson compared life to a card game, saying, “You either play with the cards that you have been dealt or you fold, and I am not ready to fold.” He described his disability as allowing him to witness Jesus in the care he received from others, which assured him “of the Father’s love, turning a stumbling block into a stepping stone.”
