In Memoriam: Fr. Bill Stoeger, S.J. '61

Torrance, CA (March 26, 2014): Fr. Bill Stoeger, S.J. (BMHS Class of 1961) passed away on Monday, March 24, 2014 after a battle with cancer. Bill was a staff scientist for the Vatican Observatory Research Group in Tucson, specializing in theoretical cosmology, high-energy astrophysics, and interdisciplinary studies relating to science, philosophy and theology. His sensitivity to others was shown in finding the right words for special Masses, in the regular calls he received to give retreats, and in the lives of the very many people to whom he gave spiritual direction. 

The funeral mass will be at 10:00 AM on Friday March 28 at the Sacred Heart Jesuit Center in Los Gatos, CA. A memorial service will be held in Tucson at a later date. Address postal inquiries to:
