For the last fourteen years, the parish social ministry at St. Louis Parish in West Haven has been working systematically on a program that helps immigrant families learn the English language.
The program, created by PSM Coordinator Leonor Cortez, includes both children and their parents, with weekly sessions designed to empower parents to teach and guide their children with homework, writing and reading skills.
At a parish meal and celebration on May 20th, Leonor and her team of teachers presented certificates of graduation to seven mothers from the West Haven community. Four children also received achievement diplomas for writing and speaking skills.
This program has been funded by a Cooperative Parish Sharing grant from the Archdiocese of Hartford, Office for Catholic Justice Ministry.
