About this ebook
Monsignor O'Neill is quite a storyteller. Through the years he has been encouraged to collect his tall tales into a book. This collection of stories spans 70 years from his childhood in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s Ireland to his more-than-50-year ministry in the United States.

William Oliver O'Neill
Born in 1942 in County Tipperary, Ireland and educated at Irish schools and seminary, William Oliver O'Neill accepted the call to "mission" work in the American rural south. He left home and family at the age of 25 and crossed the ocean to a world of new family, new friends, and very different ideas of life. Many Europeans who immigrated to America never returned to their native land but O'Neill was determined that he would remain Irish at heart and has returned home at least once a year for the last 53 years. He served parishes in New Orleans, Augusta. GA, and Columbus, GA before ending up in Savannah where he spent the last 32 years of his pastoral career serving in two of the city's larger parishes. He attended the North American College in Rome on two occasions to extend his education and has traveled to many countries outside of his native Ireland and adopted America. He is known for his amazing memory and the stories he can pull up for any occasion.
