St. Luke Habitat for Humanity Build Day - Postponed

St. Luke Life, Justice and Peace Ministry is disappointed to report that the Catholic Coalition of SGV Habitat for Humanity Build Day for St. Luke parish has been postponed out of abundance of caution due to COVID. More information will be forthcoming about volunteer sign-ups for the new date of Saturday, April 30.

The GOOD NEWS is that this gives us more time to raise funds for our St. Luke Build Day. Here is how you can support our St. Luke Catholic Coalition team: Donate toward the cost of the Build Day at https://sgvhabitat.org/give/donate/ and designate your donation to St. Luke Catholic Coalition. Your donation will be recorded in their system as a donation toward the next St. Luke Build Day.
