Introducing William Margraf, New Seminarian!

Trinity is no stranger to seminarians, though this year we are uniquely blessed to have a summer seminarian. William will be with us from late May through the end of July, and possibly beyond then as well. He will be assisting with Sunday morning liturgy, our Outreach Programs (including Chapel on the Green and the Spiritual Fellowship), and office administration; supervised by Rev. Heidi.

William Lord Margraf (he/him) is a candidate for Holy Orders from the Diocese of Massachusetts and is a seminarian at Yale Divinity School and the Berkeley Divinity School. William is a clinical social worker with experience working with marginalized communities including the unhoused and socially isolated, particularly in Harlem and the Upper West Side of New York City. He was a Franciscan friar for eight years. His present ministerial focus is co-creating the Beloved Community through meaningful and joyful connection of neighbors, history, and Gospel hope. He holds a Bachelor of Arts from Villanova University and a Master of Social Work from The Catholic University of America. William was recently adopted by a Scottish terrier, Henry. His interests include modern and contemporary art, Neo-Classical architecture, tea, working out, and making sense of his family history with all its complications and accomplishments. William is thrilled to be with the Trinity on the Green community!
