What is Ministry Guide and Discernment?
Saint William Parishioners are encouraged to attend the Ministry Guide & Discernment prior to EIM requirements.
The discernment facilitates a small group dialog about volunteering, ministries of Saint William Parish, and helpful steps towards serving well.
What are the benefits of attending a discernment?- Evaluate personal time consumption/commitments.
- Discover your potential as a volunteer, leader, or participant in ministry.
- Guidance through the EIM requirements.
- Build community with other participants who are invested in helping the ministry develop.

New Virtus online training for volunteers
All volunteers are required by the Diocese of Austin to be compliant with the Ethics and Integrity in Ministry policy.
The Virtus workshop teaches participants about boundaries, warning signs, and appropriate interactions with minors and vulnerable adults. Similarly, instructions about how to respond to incidents, and an overview of diocesan ethical policies are included.
Currently, we ask for your continued support during the transition of our website and curriculum to VIRTUS.org. If you had an EIM account in the past, your data has been transferred to VIRTUS and you’ll receive a welcome email with your VIRTUS login information. If you are new to the Virtus process, please go to www.austindiocese.org/eim-virtus-intro to learn how to create an account and sign up for a workshop. If you have any questions, please reach out to Tommy Sustaita at tsustaita@st-william.org or (512) 600-8190.
