Fr. Ken Gill’s home parish as a youth was Our Lady of Lourdes, Melbourne. He recalled talking to Msgr. John Caulfield about a call to priesthood. The late monsignor suggested he keep it in prayer while going to college and work. He went on to spend more than 20 years working in the public and private sector. After answering God’s call to the priesthood, he entered Pope John XXIII Seminary. Fr. Ken was ordained in June 2014 for the Archdiocese of Washington. He requested to return to central Florida to be closer to his aging mother and began serving as rector of Basilica of St. Paul, Daytona Beach in July 2022. On March 13, 2024, Fr. Ken was incardinated into the Diocese of Orlando by Bishop John Noonan.
