Welcome to St. William of York Catholic Church! We are pleased to welcome you to our community of faith.  Founded in 1956, our parish serves Stafford County, Virginia, north of Potomac Creek, about 35 miles south of the nation’s capital.  St. William of York is a vibrant and growing parish and offers various opportunities for faith-formation, liturgical worship, service to the community and a full social calendar.  It is a family-oriented parish that remains loyally committed to the authentic teachings of the Catholic Church, in communion with His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI and His Excellency, Paul S. Loverde, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Arlington. Our school enrolls grades pre-Kindergarten to eight. We hope that you will consider registering in our parish and joining our family of faith.  May the Lord bless you and keep you!
