Youth Ministry is the means by which the Church supports High School teens in becoming integral members of the parish, as well as the Vicariate, Archdiocese and local community.

• to engage teens in outreach, catechesis, liturgy, leadership, and foster a deeper relationship with God and the Church.
• to uphold the mission of Youth Ministry of “to, with, by, and for teens.”
• to build a sense of community among high school members of St. William Parish that promotes belonging and acceptance.

Youth Ministry relies on parental involvement at events. Each event needs one adult chaperone per eight teens. To ensure the safety of the teens, the Archdiocese of Detroit has mandated all chaperones to complete Protecting God’s Children - safe environment program – and submit to a criminal background check.
