St. Paul’s, Ivy is taking a leading role in building a Habitat House with Region XV of the Diocese of Virginia.  We began work on August 2, 2008, with a short blessing ceremony.  Beginning in September our parish will work only once every four Saturdays - a much smaller commitment than we have had on previous houses.  The other work days will be filled by Region XV and our building partner (as yet unknown). 

The house, which will be a duplex, will be built on Paton Street over about nine months, for the Hassan and Khawa families. We hope to complete the work in about 9 months.

Steve Thornton is acting as the volunteer coordinator for this project.  We are looking for someone to coordinate food for workers, probably only once every three months. We will need to provide 5-7 volunteers each workday, those with construction experience and those just willing to help.  No one under age 16 can be on the jobsite when power tools are in use.  Please contact Steve  or the church office (spivyva@aol.com) if you have questions, would like to volunteer as our food coordinator or to volunteer for any work day.
