The Sermons of Ret. Rev. Canon Bill Doulos
Rev. Canon Bill Doulos, affectionately known as Deacon Bill to those who know and love him, retired from overseeing Jubilee Homes on June 30, 2023. At the request of many friends, parishioners, supporters, fellow clergy, and followers, we have made available nearly all of Deacon Bill's sermons. We hope you find them as insightful, warm, thought-provoking and inspirational as the man himself.
