Seven volunteers, along with Luke Boiarski, SCN, recently traveled to Jackson, Kentucky, to help Sister Amy Westbrook, parish life director at Holy Cross Catholic. They got to work painting the parish sign, refreshing hand railings, weeding and mulching the flower beds, and painting a bedroom in the lower level of the volunteer house.
They even fixed up the tool shed out back, adding fresh trim that gave it a clean, updated look.
The group also held a yard sale. Tables filled up quickly, and everyone pitched in. It was a simple but clear reminder of what can happen when people come together to serve.
The work left more than just improved spaces. It built friendships, sparked plenty of laughter, and brought the kind of quiet satisfaction that comes from working side by side.
