St. Babs is an early 20th century, clapboard country church that has been repurposed to serve as a community hub for Goshen Township and Cape May County, primarily through spiritual and arts programming. Collaborative volunteers developed a strategy for restoring and renovating the historic structure and cemetery. Improvements include repairing or replacing building systems, repainting the exterior, and adding an accessible entrance and bathrooms. Our volunteers also proposed site improvements to extend St. Babs’ healing work outside.
"The most rewarding thing about working on a project is experiencing the genuine appreciation of the community members we are designing for."
"'Design' may be something that not everybody fully understands, but the quality of our environment has an impact on all of us."
"On every project, I am constantly impressed by the depth of consideration and effort applied by CDC volunteers and staff."
