Due to the initiative and generosity of Steve and Jodie Koch, parishes throughout the Springfield deanery, as well as a host of other Catholic entities, are working together with Habitat for Humanity to build a home for a deserving family. You can help by making a financial donation during our appeals weekend (July 20-21).  Businesses can also make in-kind donations of construction items. For more information, contact Tim Sheehan at tjs6257@yahoo.com. Read more about the project and volunteer opportunities by clicking on the headline above.
