Guided by the Holy Spirit, we are dedicated to living the Gospel through worship, prayer and service to all of God s people. The Church of St. William was started in 1963 by Archbishop Leo Binz who named the parish after his predecessor, Archbishop William Brady. St. William was born in 1085 in Vercelli, Italy. William was a hermit who led a life of solitude, prayer, penance and sharing of faith by founding several religious communities in Italy. It is said that St William performed a miracle by restoring the sight to a blind man. St William died in 1142. His feast day is observed on June 25.

Volunteers Needed!!! The local Meals-On-Wheels is supported by several churches in the Fridley-Columbia Heights-SLP area, including St. Williams. The program, located in Unity Hospital, provides wholesome lunches to the elderly and shut-ins in our area. Volunteers from St. Williams drive and deliver one week every other month, on a 9-week cycle. A volunteer covers one route, requiring about 1 ½ hours, each day. Some volunteer for a single day, others have time to do an entire week. Whatever you can do is a big help. We have barely enough people to cover the routes, and most have been volunteering for years. We need a few more volunteers. Can you help? Contact Frank Sedzielarz @ 763-572-9765 UPCOMING EVENT : MARK YOUR C ALENDAR PALM SUNDAY RESPECT LIFE BAKE SALE April 13/14 at all masses.
