Home Repair Service Project Meeting

Announcing an upcoming opportunity for service doing home repair work for a parish family in need:  The King Family

Planning Meeting:
Tues., June 1 at 7:45pm in Varallo Parish Hall

Work Day:
Sat., June 19 

In response to the indwelling, consuming love of God in us, we can only let this love overflow ourselves and wash into the world around us. Scripture reveals that this love must be directed back to God and outward to our neighbor and as Pope Francis reminds us time and again, this love must impel us to care first for those in need.

In His loving kindness, the Lord has provided an opportunity to share His love with one another in service to those in need right here within our Basilica family. This is a call to service for anyone who has any skills, background or willingness to learn in order to rebuild portions of a deck that has become unsafe, to install a new shingle roof, and to do some plumbing work indoors and yard work outdoors. The work day is currently scheduled for Saturday, June 19th, and there will be an organizational meeting here at the Basilica, down in Varallo Hall on this coming Tuesday, June 1st at 7:45pm. This is a beautiful opportunity for our Spanish- and English-speaking communities to come together in our shared familial bond in Christ Jesus under this one roof in service to the Kingdom of God.

While this single project provides an organizational pilot, we do not expect this to be the last time we are called together to serve one another and our neighbors! The team that comes together for this is invited to become an apostolate of Basilica parishioners who comes together on a more regular basis to provide home repair service to those in need within our parish family and to our neighbors.
