2023

In 2023 Prince of Peace along with other Holy Hammer groups helped rehab a home right here in the city of Roseville. Rehab work included kitchen and bathroom remodels and interior painting.

2022

The 2022 Habitat for Humanity project for the Holy Hammers involves two sites. Both are rehab projects. The first site involves finishing a project that is underway at 1297 Woodbridge St. in St. Paul (Maryland & Rice area) and involves amix of interior and exterior work. The 2nd site involves the refurbishing of an existing home at 564 State St. in St. Paul (south of downtown St. Paul near George and Robert)and involves only interior work.

For both projects, Holy Hammers will provide 8 volunteers per day for 10 work weeks.

The 2nd project will begin on May 23rd and go through July 15th.
