As well as being an exemplary pastor, his contribution to the rich tradition of sacred music enabled others to reflect on the beauty of God.

On Jan. 26, 1985 he was appointed Parish Priest of St Brendan's, Flemington which in 1993 was partnered with Holy Rosary, Kensington. Fr Bill retired as Pastor Emeritus on Jan. 12, 2011.
