Meet the Vicar
The Reverend William Thomas Bullard (Father Bill)
Bill began a 37-yearlong and counting career in radiation safety and management; first overhauling US Navy nuclear powered submarines and then protecting the health and safety of workers, the public and the environment at commercial electric power reactor sites in AL, LA and TX. He studied biology and nuclear engineering and has been an American Board-Certified Health Physicist, since 1994. Bill and his wife Pam, raised three sons, have one daughter-in-law, two grandchildren, and an old beagle. All bring love and joy to their lives. Pam is a secretary at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Bay City. Bill began serious discernment on a call to ministry in 2013, but the tug was there long before. He has been a multi-term Church vestry member, and warden, Eucharistic Minister and chorister. He longs share with others the grace, love and acceptance he receives from life in the Episcopal branch of the Jesus movement in ways only possible through ordained ministry. Bill completed bi-vocational ministerial training through the Iona School for Ministry as sponsored by the Diocese of Texas. He was ordained a Deacon on June 22, 2019 by The Right Reverend C. Andrew Doyle, Bishop Diocesan, in Houston Texas and a Priest by The Right Reverend Jeff Fisher, on January 22, 2020 at St. John’s Church in Palacios, Texas.
