The program provides safe, fully furnished, scattered-site housing in New Bedford and Fall River, offering residents stability, dignity, and a path toward independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its launch, the program has helped more than 25 young adults transition into stable, long-term housing. Residents are paired with case managers who support their mental health, education, employment, and long-term planning, with the goal of achieving full self-sufficiency within two years. Many participants are enrolled in college, working toward their high school equivalency degree, or employed full-time, with all living and educational expenses covered during their stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Catholic-Charities-FR-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Catholic-Charities-FR-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Catholic-Charities-FR-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Catholic-Charities-FR-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Catholic-Charities-FR-240x180.png 240w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Catholic-Charities-FR.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The program\u2019s impact is remarkable.

I have been going to Espirito Santo School since preschool. My younger brother has also been a student there since preschool and is currently in fifth grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My brother and I are both fortunate that my parents enrolled us at Espirito Santo School. The school offers us the opportunity of a faith-based education. This faith-based education not only strengthens our Christian morals and values but shapes us spiritually and intellectually as a whole. The school teaches and encourages us both to bring our faith home and out into our community. One way we bring our faith home is we pray before we eat and we also pray every night before bed. As a family, we attend church together weekly and parish events together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The school is more than just teachers and students, for me it\u2019s like a family. I have spent<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>all of my life in this school. The teachers are the backbone of this family. They don\u2019t only teach us history, math, science, and ELA, but they also teach us patience, respect, kindness, and how to be Christ-like to one another. Once a teacher told us that he would hope that if we were to learn anything from our time at Espirito Santo, it was how to be kind to others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The school also offers me the opportunity to not only serve my community by collecting food during Thanksgiving for a local food pantry, the choir singing at a nursing home, or during Catholic Schools week collecting items for the needy, but also offers me the opportunity to serve my church as an altar server. Being an altar server has changed the way I look at the Mass not only because of the different perspective, but also seeing what has to happen to celebrate the Mass for everyone. I would not become an altar server, if it were not for my school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am grateful for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.face-dfr.org\/\">FACE Foundation<\/a>. If it were not for FACE helping financially, my<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>brother and I might not be able to attend Espirito Santo. With today\u2019s high financial burdens like higher taxes, food costs, and the overall high cost of living, FACE gives families the opportunity of sending their children to a school that offers their children a well-rounded education by alleviating some of the tuition costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you to my family for all their love and support. Thank you to Espirito Santo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>School for helping me grow over the years.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>My thanks to Leeza for sharing her Catholic school experience.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>+Bishop da Cunha<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Service, prayer, and education are powerful ways we answer God\u2019s call.
