Volunteers of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth

Our campaign has officially kicked off!

Javier, Ana, Jose and Deisy have waited years for a safe home.

The family owns a small piece of land, but the cost of building materials has kept their dream out of reach. Javier has helped build homes for other families while patiently waiting for his own family’s opportunity.

Now, it is their turn. This fall, Louisville students will travel to Belize to build this family a new home, and your contribution today will cover the cost of the building materials. Donate now!

📍Philadelphia
📅 October 15-19, 2026
💲$700 (includes airfare)
⏰ Applications close tomorrow, July 31.

If you've got questions or want to see if this trip is a good fit, send me a message. We'd love to have you join us.

This week, we had the privilege of building a wheelchair ramp for Mrs. L, who recently returned home from physical rehabilitation after facing medical challenges that left her disabled.

The ramp will help her safely and independently get in and out of her home as she adjusts to this new chapter.

This project was especially meaningful because one of Bardstown's own, Chief Deputy Greenwell, volunteered his time to help with the build. Not only does he protect and serve our community while wearing the badge, but he showed up to serve as a volunteer as well.

We couldn't do this work without people willing to step up for their neighbors. Thank you to everyone who helped make this project possible. Community truly is everything. 💙
