ALL-CATHOLIC BUILD
This will be the first All-Catholic BUILD for Habitat for Humanity in Wisconsin! With the leadership of St. Bernard Church in Middleton, our Cluster of churches will make history! We have the "community" necessary for a Sponsorship, we have the people of good will, we have the energy, and we have the God-Given talent and treasure!
To be built by the Cluster Churches:
St. Bernard, St. Martin of Tours, St. Peter
St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Francis Xavier

Meet Our Habitat Family
The Ivy Family
My name is Latasha Ivy. I am the mother of two wonderful boys, Antjuan, 10, and Deyontae, 3. Antjuan likes school and playing video games. He also wants to be a football player when he grows up. Deyontae loves going to the park, playing with cards and picking on his big brother.
I have a great job at Trinity Senior Community. I really enjoy helping people who need my help. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with the boys going to the park, playing basketball or staying in and watching movies.
In the last three years, we have moved three times. When I think of having a home of my own, I think of a sense of security and a safe, stable place to raise my sons.
We are very excited and thankful for this opportunity. I would like to thank Habitat for Humanity of Dane County and all the volunteers for making our dreams come true. This is truly a blessing and I am grateful to have a home to call my own.

Volunteer Status
Drywall, paint, landscaping will occupy our working teams for the next few weeks at the Habitat Church Build site. The Ivy Family is excited and Latasha is often found working alongside our volunteers. We are in the last phases of volunteer opportunities, so if you can help in any way call Rod at 836-5562, site hosts, call Joan at 798-1721 and while our regular volunteers finish up, there still will be plenty of work to do for skilled construction people: call Loren at 831-1900 or Brad at 225-7231. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this combined effort between our churches: St. Bernard, St. Francis Xavier, St. Martin of Tours, St. Peter and St. Thomas Aquinas.
Volunteers are asked to arrive at the Northport Commons site at 8:15 am and will clean up and leave at 3:30 pm. Lunch is at 12:00 and is “on our own” for week day build dates. Coffee and water are available on site each build day.
Personal hand tools may be brought to the site but it is not necessary because Habitat will provide tools. Habitat does not take responsibility for lost or damage items. Habitat asks that you do not bring personal power tools to the build site.
If you can volunteer to help please sign-up on the form to contact Rod Nilles, or call him at 836-5562 to ask questions.

$65,000.00 GOAL EXCEEDED
|
|
BEFORE we could begin construction, we needed to raise $65,000.00 through Fundraisers, Donations and Gifts-in-Kind. As a Sponsor of this project, this was our PRIMARY TASK until February. There could be no construction project next year if we do not raise these funds. If you are waiting for the moment to help "Build" the home, wait no longer!
THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!
We are thrilled to not only have reached our goal but to have exceeded it by more then $10,000 before our deadline! The additional funds will be used to purchase an energy efficient washer and dryer (the other appliances are included) and a few essential items for the Ivy family. Any additional funds will be donated to Habitat for Humanity of Dane County for their future projects.
Thank you to all of the parish members of St Bernard, St Thomas Aquinas, St Martins, St Peters and St Francis Xavier that have made contributions and supported our fundraising efforts! Thank you also to our business sponsors; Fuzzy Side Up, Memorial Pet Services, Midwest Dental, Meriter Friends 4 Friends Program, Little Red Preschool, K & M Concrete and the Knights of Columbus Council #4549. Additional thanks to the many area businesses that donated items to our silent auction.
The generosity of the parishes and the local communities has been overwhelming and we feel truly blessed to be part of this project.
