St. Paul's Begins New Project with Habitat for Humanity

August 15, 2009 - Habitat for Humanity is an international Christian ministry.  Habitat teams with local volunteers to help provide affordable home ownership. On Saturday, August 15th, St. Paul’s parish fielded a team of volunteers to work on their new project on Camden Street in Lynn. 

The Camden Street project, a single family home which is being built from the ground up, is almost completely framed and sheathed. Our team worked on building the back deck and some of the remaining roof framing. 

Thanks goes out to Maggie & Kristin Bornstein, Carl Ogren, Jim Rosato, Judi Ryan, Dick Shafner and Bob Sorrentino for their efforts. It was especially pleasing to see one of the families from the Salem project working on this house! 

All who have participated in the Habitat for Humanity projects have found it to be very satisfying.  It is especially rewarding to contribute some sore muscles and a little sweat to the benefit of others.  Some have even learned some new skills! 

We are already planning another work party, date TBD, so stay tuned.  If you weren’t able to be with us this time, we hope to see you next time for a little hard work and fellowship.
