Building & Grounds (Tuesday Group)

With inspiration from St. Joseph, the mission of the Tuesday Group is to provide good fellowship among all those who participate to maintain the church facilities and outside surroundings in a workmanlike manner, to ensure the safety of the parishioners, preserve the integrity of the structure, and to be certain the entire complex remains aesthetically appealing. From time to time, the Tuesday Group engages in internal and external construction and landscaping projects within their capability.

The group is made up of parishioners who provide time and talent to maintain the church building and grounds. They volunteer at church each Tuesday from 8:00 am to 11:00 am. They do routine lawn and landscaping, such as mowing, trimming, blowing, etc. They also do maintenance and repair activities for the buildings on the property to include electrical, plumbing, painting, etc. The Tuesday Group arranges the tables and chairs in Morrow Hall for parish activities. They also operate a repair shop that manages the group’s lawn care equipment as well as repair equipment donated to Joyous Junque.
