A Homily on Immigration

By Fr. Jack

Habitat for Humanity

Students joining with parishioners are invited to take part in Habitat for Humanity projects. Habitat is a faith-based organization that builds, remodels, and sells houses to qualified home buyers who do “sweat equity” on the construction of their future home. No skills are required. Transportation to the work site is available for interested students.

For more information please contact a Campus Minister.
