Help Us Preserve and Protect Creation
We invite individuals and groups to join us for monthly Volunteer Work Days to help tend the land entrusted to our care.
Volunteer efforts not only help us protect and preserve Creation but directly support our commitment to the Laudato Si Action Platform.
By spending the day with us, you’re also helping to reduce food insecurity, locally, by contributing to the community garden, chicken and apiary operations of our Ecology ministry.

Volunteer Work Day Details
All work days are from 9:30am to 2:30pm. Tasks may include but are not limited to: weeding, mulching, painting, pruning, and helping to maintain areas like the community gardens and labyrinth. Each work day includes lunch in our dining room and a chance to meet and interact with Sisters who reside at our Motherhouse.
We appreciate your contribution whether it’s for an hour or for the entire day. Our only request is that you bring your own water bottle which can be refilled onsite. (We discourage the use of store-bought bottled water because of our commitment to reduce plastic consumption.)
Please RSVP by emailing Toni Dunlap at tdunlap@stjoseph-baden.org (one week in advance, if possible) and let us know if you will be staying for lunch. Weather-related cancellations will be sent via email.
Please note, the Oct. 10 session will not be held. Weekly gatherings will resume the following week on October 17.
