Remembering Fr. Jim Willig - Video Homily by Fr. Jacob Willig


Evangelize Seekers. Inspire Believers. Foster Disciples.

Our Lord Will Not Be Outdone In Generosity

As the 25th anniversary of Fr. Jim Willig's birth into eternal life approaches, Fr. Jacob Willig honors his uncle—the founder of Heart to Heart—in a family Mass. He reflects on God's constant generosity and calls us to give back what we've received, trusting in that generosity even when it's hard to believe that it will be there tomorrow like it was today.

Watch this special Mass and Homily honoring Fr. Jim. Later in the week we will release several interviews with Fr. Jim's family members and friend Fr. Dave.
