In spirit of Renew My Church, parishes come together to provide a home for two families in need
Even though they won’t be activated as part of the Renew My Church process until 2022, seven churches in Tinley Park, Orland Park, Crestwood and Orland Hills came together in the spirit of the process and built part of a duplex that will house families in need.
Over 300 volunteers from seven parishes including St. George, St. Julie Billiart, St. Elizabeth Seton, St. Michael, St. Francis, Our Lady of the Woods, and Incarnation build walls and infrastructure for two houses in the parking lot at St. George in Tinley Park June 8.
