The chilly weather didn't stop volunteers from getting so much done both in and outside! :)
Moving the front step!
I don't know when I saw a group of men so proud of themselves! It took hours, but these fabulous volunteers got a couple hundred pound solid cement step into the dumpster! Woowee! I showed up just in time to snap a few pics of the final push and the smiles that followed!

Habitat: Meet the Catholic House Family
I’m happy to announce that the Catholic House officially has a fantastic family assigned! They were just shown the house last night, so this is hot off the presses.
M and J and their children: F(9) M (5) B(3)
M works in the custodial department at U of M, J doesn’t work outside of the home. They are parishioners at Christ the King and have known Scott Wright, Social Ministry director at St. Francis for many years.
They are so excited to be moving into a home being renovated by people they know and love. The girls were already claiming rooms and choosing paint colors with me while their parents were looking at the house with our construction team yesterday,
They’re already hard at work on their sweat equity hours – so I’m sure you’ll see them at the site! Make sure you say “hello” if you see them on the build.
In Christ,
Maggie Porter
