Youth and Faith Communities Unite to Build Pope Leo Village

Local youth and faith communities are coming together in a powerful way to help build Pope Leo Village, an affordable homeownership initiative rooted in unity, service, and hope. Through hands-on volunteer opportunities and shared purpose, Catholic schools, parishes, and community members are playing an important role in bringing this vision to life.

Students and volunteers are lending their time and energy to help assemble wall panels, an essential step in the homebuilding process, while also sharing stories, building relationships, and putting faith into action. These moments of collaboration reflect the heart of Habitat’s mission of seeking to put God’s love into action by bringing people together to build homes, communities and hope.

Pope Leo Village is more than a construction project. It is an opportunity for young people and faith communities to work side by side, learn the value of service, and see firsthand how collective effort can create lasting impact. Each wall panel assembled represents not only progress toward a home, but also the shared commitment of a community working toward something greater than itself.

If you are looking to be part of something meaningful, now is the time to get involved. Whether through volunteering, supporting youth participation, or spreading the word, your involvement helps build homes and hope.
