Msgr, William P. Long, 1880-1959




Chicago Tribune, April 7, 1959

Msgr. Long was the pastor of St. Thomas Aquinas most of the years we were members of the parish.  Many of the STA graduates from 1960 mentioned their memories of Msgr. Long.  Several noted that going to confession with Fr. Long was an experience, mostly because he was hard of hearing.  This evidently required the penitent to share his or her "sins" a tad more loudly than desired.

Msgr. Long died while we were in seventh grade.  Pastor Laurence Fitzpatrick replaced Msgr. Long.
