"St. Dominic High School Appalachian Project" for Our Lady's Inn-St. Charles.
The students of St. Dominic High School in St. Charles chose Our Lady's Inn for their June 2006 Appalachian Project. St. Dominic's students, parents and staff completed several woodworking projects, valued at $16,000. Their labor of love, combined with anonymous donations of lumber and supplies from other caring sources, blessed the families and staff of Our Lady's Inn-St. Charles.
Volunteer projects, such as those by Eagle Scout Troop # 351 and St. Dominic High School's Appalachian Project highlighted here, make the surroundings more pleasant, more welcoming, and more comforting. Stop in and see for yourself when you come for a visit and a tour. Call (636) 398-5375 and speak with volunteer coordinator, Betsy Beauparlant at Our Lady's Inn-St. Charles, located at 3607 Highway D (just east of DD) in Defiance, Missouri, 63341.
Eagle Scout Troop # 351 Project
Jake Pelikan and Kyle Barteau, members of Boy Scout Troop 351 at St. Cletus Parish in St. Charles, stand in front of a statue of the Blessed Virgin they helped to erect on the grounds of Our Lady’s Inn in St. Charles County. Jake repaired and refurbished the 400-pound statue and installed it with the assistance of several fellow troop members. Kyle designed and planned the landscaping surrounding the statue, also with the help of several troop members. The efforts were part of an Eagle Scout project. Our Lady’s Inn of St. Charles will have a blessing and dedication of the statue 10 a.m. Saturday, July 14, at 3607 Highway D. in Defiance. Father James J. Benz, pastor of St. Cletus, will preside at the dedication and blessing. An open house will follow. From an article by Kevin McCarty in the St. Louis Review June 29, 2007
