Statement from Bill Hudson

This is a deeply personal decision comes as a result of a great deal of prayer, discernment and reflection.

I have loved being part of the Totino-Grace community and leading an amazing and wonderful staff and faculty. I'm very proud of our students.

I've always believed that God was with me in my journey, career and vocation, blessing me with skills, talents, and opportunities to serve Catholic education and the Church.

Though heartbreaking and painful, I must say that it is freeing to be open about the most important thing in my life and to live an authentic life. For over 20 years I have placed service of the Catholic Church ahead of my family. I am excited to now be able focus on my 2 children and my partner of 18 years as my first priority.

I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to meet some amazing people, to touch hearts and to have been blessed by so many.
