Our parish has just a single maintenance man serving three different churches and the rectory, as well as oversight at the school.  Thus, simple maintenance like painting the railing at the church entrance serves a charitable purpose to the church itself by taking that responsibility and cost of labor off the church and upon the Knights.  It serves as a time for the Council Brothers to bond in the work of a common cause enhancing our fraternal mission.  And most importantly, it makes the church look nicer!  St. Joseph Church has a steel railing that is painted black at the front entrance of the church.  Due its proximity to state road 119 there is a lot of salt damage to contend with so the railing needs a lot of maintenance.  The project involved sanding down areas where rust was coming through, priming and painting the finish coat.
