William – Team Member

Hey there! My name is William and I have been with SYMT since September 2025. It has been a wonderful experience for me so far as I get to meet and interact with lots of enthusiastic young people every day. It has always been my desire to talk to young people about Jesus as much as possible and also accompany them in their faith journey. My best moments… silent prayer, reading, writing and of course, playing or watching football…

As a trainee priest for the diocese of Shrewsbury, one of my favorite Scripture texts has always been: “…for their sake I consecrate myself so that they too may be consecrated in truth.” This reminds me everyday of the mission that lies ahead. It is a deep and intimate prayer, focused on the disciples, but also focused on me. Jesus prays that I be kept true to his name. It is easy to show enthusiasm at the beginning, but the life of faith has its good times and bad. So, I always want to remind young people that hard times will come, but we must not despair, Jesus is always there for us.
