Youth and adult team leaders from the Basilica of St. Joseph Proto-Cathedral in Bardstown, Ky. spent a day in service to the parish’s elderly parishioners Sept. 7.
The annual event, which began in 2010, is a long-standing tradition at the parish.
This year, the parish had four teams serve at seven homes. They cleaned the inside and outside of windows, carried items up from a basement, trimmed bushes, cut down trees, pruned flowers, cleaned and organized a garage and pulled weeds.
They also spent time talking to the homeowners.
The youth finished the day of service with the vigil Mass, where they served as ministers.
