💙 Hard work that made a visible difference!

A big thank you to Wayne, Carrie, Jamie, both Bris, Chris, and Cindy from the School District of Janesville, WI Human Resources Office for spending Day of Caring at St. Patrick’s Parish Hall.

Their cleanup efforts resulted in two large trailer loads of yard waste being removed and helped improve a space used by both the parish and the broader community.

We’re grateful for volunteers who are willing to roll up their sleeves and tackle the projects that make our shared spaces stronger. That’s community in action! 💙

Thanks to our friends who cleaned up the parking lot at St. Patrick's Parish Hall as part of the United Way Day of Caring. Wayne, Carrie, Jamie, Bri, Bri, Chris and Cindy from the School District of Janesville's Human Resources Office volunteered to help and were assigned to St. Pat's campus. With sweat, dirt, muscle and good hearts, they cleaned up all of the inside fence line for the Parish Hall parking lot. Not only was this a great help for our parish, but the community as well benefits from this clean-up. Due to their efforts two large trailer loads of yard waste have been removed. There is still some work to be done on the outside of the fence line to complete the project, if you are interested in volunteering to help, please call Jeanne or Brian at the parish office, 608-752-8708. Thank you, team, for your efforts!
