St. Damian has joined the Vicariate V annual multi-parish Home Build Project.

(Scroll to end for Sign Up form)
 

Together with the assistance of Crossroads Missions, seven parishes of Vicariate V (St. Elizabeth Seton, St. Francis of Assisi, St. George, St. Julie Billiart, St. Michael, and St. Stephen Deacon & Martyr) work together to assist Habitat for Humanity through fundraising for building materials and by constructing the house framing in the church parking lot on the Build Day. The walls are transported by others to the home site where Habitat for Humanity will complete the house with other volunteers and skilled tradespeople. Upon completion, the home will be dedicated to a family in need.
