Join Habitat for Humanity Catholic Coalition
for Build Day on July 31
Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. Since 1976 Habitat for Humanity has been helping people build or improve a place they can call home.
Habitat for Humanity is a partnership, not a giveaway program. Habitat homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their own labor working alongside volunteers to build their houses. Habitat’s homeowner families buy the houses that Habitat renovates or builds. As a result, Habitat for Humanity houses are affordable for low-income families.
Habitat for Humanity builds much more than houses. A decent home provides the strength, stability and independence that families need to build a better life for themselves and for their families. This is all possible because of the support of generous and compassionate people such as our parishioners at St. Luke.
Volunteers & Donors: The Keys to Making a Difference. Parishes in the San Gabriel Pastoral Region are forming teams, as part of the SGV Habitat for Humanity Catholic Coalition, to promote and support the work of SGV Habitat for Humanity. As we work to build a team at St. Luke, our parishioners are invited to participate in projects with volunteers from Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Elizabeth of Hungary churches. Volunteers don’t need to have any special skills; only the desire to make a difference in the lives of others!
Join us for BUILD DAY on Saturday July 31, 2021. St. Luke is looking for volunteers to join with Catholic Coalition volunteers from Saint Elizabeth of Hungary church in a special painting project at Habitat’s Monrovia offices. We will be working inside air-conditioned offices, not outside in the heat. Habitat will teach us everything we need to know and they will provide us with any needed tools. Volunteers are required to follow all safety protocols set forth by the CDC, including wearing a cloth face mask, handwashing and maintaining distancing. Here are the details:
What: Come paint, brand and help design the SGV Habitat for Humanity headquarters. Your help will make it an inviting place for all the families that Habitat serves.
When: Saturday, July 31, 7:45 am - 3:30 pm. Volunteers can sign up for a half day shift, 7:45 am to 11:30 am or 11:45 am to 3:30 pm, or for a full day, from 7:45 am to 3:30 pm.
Where: 724 E. Huntington Dr. Monrovia, CA 91016

We are God’s hands and feet, here to serve others and show them His love.
If you are willing to roll up your sleeves and engage in a labor of loving and doing, we would be very grateful for your help!
