The Habitat for Humanity House

Jesse Aguilar is the coordinator for the Knights' construction schedule. If you would like to work at the next build, contact Jesse at jesseaguilar@satx.rr.com or telephone 210-534-1943.

Members of Prince of Peace Parish will join with the Knighst to build the Fall 2009 house for Anita and Beatrice Morin, shown below with Chapter President Caesar Bustos and Assistant Diocesan Deputy Jesse Aguilar.

The Fall 2009 house will be in the Palo Alto Subdivision in South San Antonio. Take Loop 410 South or Interstate 35 South to Highway 422, the Poteet Jourdanton Fwy. Turn West on Aragon and you will find Palo Alto Subdivision.

If you have never volunteered, there's nothing to it. Anyone can help, including spouses, friends, children (over age 16). There will be an opportunity for supervised teens age 14 and up to help landscape.

Plan to arrive early for the 8 am safety briefing and prayer. Wear appropriate clothing (no open toe shoes), hat, (shorts are okay). Habitats provide safety equipment (gloves, eye protection, helmet) and tools. The Knights provide water, food and snacks.

Volunteers are needed to provide the lunch for the group - usually about 20 people. Typical menus include buckets of chicken, sandwiches, pizza, casseroles, etc. Don't forget the brownies or cookies!

We will clean up about 3 pm and be done by 3:30. It can get hot working outside, and sometimes it rains, but there is always something to be done. There are only 14 workdays. Professionals pour the foundation and do the electrical and plumbing. Volunteers, under the supervision of a professional foreman, do all the rest.

There is a great sense of accomplishment, and you can learn some new skills, so come on down and join us!
