Making a Home for Others!
Every spring, SJV parishioners have the opportunity to participate in Habitat for Humanity Build Days. Although SJV has continually supported Habitat for Humanity Northwest Harris County’s efforts, we send teams of parishioners in the spring to work on a home for a needy family.
The first thing to know is that Habitat for Humanity does not give homes away. Rather, they partner with families looking for a ‘hand-up’ and help them build their new home.
Partner organizations such as St. John Vianney donate funds to pay for the materials needed to build houses on land purchased by Habitat and provide volunteers and the needed labor to build the homes.
If you didn’t get a chance to help this year, make plans to join us in the spring of 2025!
Everyone is welcome to participate! If construction work isn’t your cup of tea, we have other ways in which you and your family can get involved!
We invite you to sign up to pray for the volunteers and for the family whose home they’re building. This can be done in the Adoration Chapel or from the convenience of your home during the time that our volunteers are working. To sign up, email the Social Services office and provide us the time frame in which you will be available to spend one hour in the Presence of Our Lord Jesus in prayer.
Habitat’s Vision
A world where everyone has a decent place to live.
Habitat’s Mission Statement
Habitat for Humanity Northwest Harris County works by faith to change lives and empower families by building homes in partnership with God and people from all walks of life.
Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every family should have the opportunity to own a basic, decent home in which to live in dignity and safety. Habitat partners with community organizations to create affordable housing and help develop responsible homeowners and successful neighborhoods.
