Bronze Sculpture Locations

Fr. Bill Atkinson’s legacy is an important example of virtue and dignity. To promote his legacy and cause for sainthood, we will memorialize Fr. Bill with the construction of three sculptures. One in the Healing Garden of St. Augustine Parish in Old City Philadelphia, the first formation of Augustinians in America and the founding location of Villanova University. The second at Bonner-Penerguest Catholic High School where, Fr. Bill served for close to 30 years. We also desire to erect one in Rome, Italy at the International Headquarters of the Augustinians.

A sculpture in Rome will help spread Fr. Bill’s inspirational story to an international audience. Now that documentation affirming the Cause of Beatification and Canonization is in Rome for examination by theologians, our goal is to tell Fr. Bill’s story to the world.
