If you want to make a physical mark on the world, consider joining our Habitat for Humanity build team and put the corporal work of mercy - "shelter the homeless" - into action.

This ministry is perfect for those sixteen and older who have a day to give back each year.

For nearly 30 years, St. Michael has been supporting Habitat for Humanity of Wake County. The Habitat for Humanity Ministry is excited to announce that in the upcoming months, we will be collaborating with Mother Teresa Catholic Church and a coalition of other churches to build new homes, making the dream of affordable housing possible for many families. This year, the coalition will build nine townhomes in a community at 4425 Dedication Drive, just off Poole Road in Raleigh.

SAINT MICHAEL AND MOTHER TERESA BUILD WEEKS

This year, we have been assigned two build weekends. St. Michael and Mother Teresa hope to provide 55 workers over a 3-day period each build weekend (15 workers each Thursday and Friday, and 25 on Saturday). Build days are approximately 6-8 hours in length. Volunteers must be able to take on physical labor outdoors.

If you are unable to help with the actual build, there is an opportunity to provide lunch for those working. Please prayerfully consider working on this important project—whether by helping with the build or providing meals (kids and families are welcome to participate in meal donations).
