On June 5, the SSND (School Sisters of Notre Dame) Educational Center in Woodhaven, Queens NY held a ceremony to celebrate the accomplishments of 100 women, and the faculty who accompanied them, in achieving various levels of English speaking and writing skills, math and civics. Two classes are working toward their High School Equivalency Diploma. As one student speaker explained, “We came here to learn English. We found friendship, support, and the freedom to dream. I hope to be a nurse one day.”

The Ladies of Charity at St. John’s is privileged to support this Center and these women in various ways.
