About our Pastor
Bishop William was born in Homestead, PA and moved to Florida in 1969. He was influenced to begin God’s work through the example of his grandfather, Joseph Witkowski. “Pop not only had a deep devotion to God and family, he also did a lot of charitable work behind the scenes in feeding the poor and helping the destitute. We were always involved in doing something for others which eventually translated itself into answering the call to ordained ministry”, which began as a Deacon in June 1996, then a Priest in November 2006, and continued as a Bishop in January 2013.
The Bishop was appointed the founding Pastor of the Holy Angels congregation in November 2006. When asked what a few goals he has for the parish, he said, “One, that ALL feel welcome here, and two, that we make God's love known in Central Florida. One deals with hospitality, the other with action.”
He believes the congregation is steadily working well to achieve these goals. “We do welcome all and we are very active in our charitable activities through outreach efforts in the community.”
“We are a small congregation, but together we are making God’s Love Known in Central Florida. Building up our parish starts with you and I hope you'll come join us on the journey…”
