Lenten Projects 2016

Want to get involved?

As Lent quickly approaches, we’d like to thank Joes and friends for their participation in SJ&S Lenten projects last year.  Below is information regarding the two projects for us this coming Lent. 

·         St. Bridget’s Parish – 3 tasks

Their Junior High Youth Group meets in their parish center, lower level.  One new feature they want is a large blackboard on the north wall.  Tom has prepared detailed plans for the wall which will take several Joe’s to construct and paint.  The blackboard wall is 8’ high by 24’ long.  Also , there are some utility closet walls that also need to be painted.   The walls are 12’ high by 22’ long and there are two of them.  Finally, the lower level has lots of messy build-up and we will assist in helping to organize the existing space.  St. Bridget’s will have a strong decision maker to help us clear out the build-up.  With all of these tasks, we hope to have some of the youth group kids helping out my making the many trips up the stairs to the dumpster.   

We are planning on three Saturdays, February 13, 20, and 27.  We’ll start at 7:30 and be done for the day by 4:00pm. 

·         Provina Cor Mariae – kneelers in the chapel 

The kneelers have rubber pads on them that need to be removed and replaced.  Jim Zimmer is leading this project and recently demonstrated the removal and replacement procedure at our January meeting.  There are 45 kneelers with four pads per kneeler.  It will take about ½ hour to repair each kneeler.  Gordy Grubb has also been involved. 

We’d like to work on Friday afternoons from 1-4pm and also on Saturday mornings from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm - starting on February 12/13th and finishing the work on February 19/20^th

Please seriously consider helping with one of these projects.  These projects are a big part of who we as members of St. Joseph and Sons are all about.  We need your help.

Please let us know which project you’d like to participate in this Lent. (as a penance for our many sins).
