Testimony of Fr. William Moorby

Fr. William Moorby is from the area of Rochester, NY. Fr. Moorby was raised in a strong Catholic home with fond memories of his early sacraments. He shares in his story how he became involved in the Charismatic Renewal and how it led him to the priesthood. His parents were involved in the Charismatic Renewal and encouraged him when he was in college to attend a prayer group.

After many attempts, he was able to find one. Through his connection with a roommate in college and his Spiritual Director, he was encouraged to consider the vocation of priesthood. Fr. Moorby attended St. John Fisher University in Rochester, NY. Father Moorby was ordained in 1982. He began his stay in Tioga in 1993 as pastor of St. John the Evangelist, Newark Valley, and St. Francis of Assisi, Catatonk. Four years later, he was named administrator of St. Patrick, Owego, and a year after that, he became pastor of all three churches. In 2003, he doubled his pastorate by adding on St. James, Waverly; St. Margaret Mary, Apalachin; and St. Pius X, Van Etten in the newly formed Blessed Trinity/St. Patrick parishes.
