Seven Catholic parishes in Orland Hills, Orland Park, Tinley Park and Alsip build walls for a Habitat for Humanity home in Michigan.
Tinley Park’s Jack McDonnell has been busy doing projects and winning honors over the past 13 months.
Seven parishes banded together for the fifth year to work on this project, and Orland Park-based Scout Troop 318 Scouts and adult leaders also lent a hand pounding nails and creating walls for houses to be erected in Benton Harbor, Michigan. “Over the years, we have built walls for 11 homes in three states,” said Matt Vieck of St. Julie Billiart, who has overseen the project for a half decade.
Tinley Park Village Trustee Bill Brady, a man who wears many hats including being a renowned comedian, represented St. Stephen. He helped in the hospitality room for the second year.But he did marvel at all the parishioners who came together to “do God’s work.”
