Bill Carmody (priest)

Upon discerning a call to become a Catholic priest, he enrolled in Holy Trinity Seminary at the University of Dallas in 1984, where he studied for two years.

In 1994, as parochial vicar at Corpus Christi Parish,[1] Carmody introduced the Project Rachel program, which helps men and women suffering from the traumatic effects of abortion.

In May 1994, Carmody also began celebrating weekly Masses in front of Planned Parenthood, which he continued to do faithfully until November 2015.

[11] In November 2004, Carmody was warned for violating open container laws in regards to serving sacramental wine while holding mass outside an abortion clinic.

[15] In June 2017, Bishop Michael Sheridan dedicated The Hope Monument on the grounds of St. Dominic in Colorado Springs to Father Bill Carmody.
