On April 14, more than a hundred volunteers gathered for the first annual Saint William Community Project and gave their time and talent to improve the lives of 15 families in Round Rock. Parish volunteers worked from early morning into the late afternoon cleaning homes, landscaping, and replacing doors, screens, and roofs for families in need of assistance.

Fr. Dean Wilhelm, Pastor at Saint William, and Fr. Jonathan Raia, Associate Pastor, joined volunteers at each work site and helped complete the projects.

“I had a wonderful time working at the site with my team. This was a fantastic opportunity for people from many different parts of our church community to come together, on Divine Mercy weekend, and put the Lord’s mercy into concrete action. I feel blessed to have been a part of it.”
Fr. Jonathan Raia

At the end of the day, volunteers came together to celebrate their hard work at the evening Mass, where Fr. Jonathan gave them a special blessing in recognition of their contributions.

The project was led by Diocese of Austin Seminarian Craig DeYoung, who was serving his pastoral year at Saint William.

“Thank you to the many parishioners, community volunteers and local businesses for their generous contributions of time and talent that made this day a success and helped to build up the Kingdom of God.”
Craig DeYoung

The Saint William Community Project was planned as an annual event, giving parishioners an opportunity to give back to those most in need in the Round Rock community.
