Volunteer Opportunities

At St. William Parish we LOVE volunteers. 

As disciples of Christ we are called by our baptism to share our gifts, not only our treasures, but our time and our talent.

There are places for you to serve in the liturgy and in the social and outreach aspects of the church community.

What special talent do you have?  What is it that you truly enjoy?  Is it singing, playing a musical instrument? Or do you love to visit with people, cook, bake?

Are you a photographer, can you help take photos at parish events?

Below are a few of the opportunities that we currently have and we are certainly open to suggestions from you.
