All three Catholic churches in East Cobb—Holy Family, St. Ann and Transfiguration—participated in the construction of the Cobb County Catholic Coalition’s final Habitat for Humanity home project of 2021.
That home was dedicated on Nov. 20 and presented to Getachew and Tezita Zegeye and their two-year-old daughter in Austell.
That’s where Getachew Zegeye has been working, and commuting from Clarkston, for the last eight years.
The project was started on Sept. 11 and was completed in 10 weeks. Members of other churches that took part represented St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church, St. Clare of Assisi Catholic Church, St. Joseph Catholic Church.
“We could not do what we do in this community without the devotion and commitment of the Cobb Catholic Habitat Coalition,” Jessica Gill, CEO of NW Metro Atlanta Habitat, said in a statement. “They live out their commitment to faith and service through changing the lives of families year after year.”
