Youth
Ministry
All High School students (9th-12th grade) are encouraged to join St William of York’s Youth Ministry program. We aim to provide a safe and encouraging space for teens at all levels of their Catholic journey and provide opportunities for faith building, community leadership, personal growth and just plain fun. Our youth participate in Diocesan-wide and Parish based events, which help to expand their personal community with like minded people. We hope to meet the teens where they are in faith, and provide the tools to know, love and serve God better, for the rest of their lives.
Triple D
Dodgeball, Dessert & Discussion – Once a month on a Sunday afternoon, we get together to play different forms of dodgeball, then have a sweet treat, while we talk about our faith and how it affects us everyday.
Ladies Tea Time
High School ladies are encouraged to join us for High Tea with a special guest. Guests vary from local authors to knowledgeable parishioners sharing their life experiences.
