The Parousians Thank Father Clifton Hill

Father Clifton Hill, a Spiritan priest with a Ph.D in physics, came to our Pope Benedict party last year and has welcomed several of the Parousians over for visits at his home in the Garden District not too far from LSU.

I personally have benefitted from his kindness whenever I bugged him at odd hours to hear my confession. He has been a trustworthy source for impromptu counsel and pleasant conversation.

Other Parousians wanted their voices heard on Father Hill's influence on them.

Founding Parousian Caleb Bernacchio writes: "Father Hill is a remarkably humble man. That being one of the most important and difficult virtues, it gives an insight into his sanctity."

Haley Pontiff says, "Whenever I'm around Father Hill, the call to live in truth is magnified most by the peace in his heart and humble servitude. This I could never learn from a thousand books."

Houma-Thibodaux Seminarian Stephen Dufrene says: "Father Hill was my go-to man for early morning Mass in Baton Rouge! His love for the Lord is displayed especially in the time he spent purifying the vessels after Holy Communion.....his actions foster love for the Eucharist."

The Parousians thank Father Hill for his continued witness to our ranks.
