Vincentian Open Arms Program Update

Every Tuesday and Thursdays from 10 AM - 12 PM, a sewing and tailoring class is being offered at St. Thomas of Canterbury church (4827 N. Kenmore). ​🧵We invited one of our neighbors to join the class because while looking for work, he had been struggling with depression. Being in the sewing class has given him an outlet and helped keep him engaged in something while continuing his job search. Recently, he interviewed at O'Hare for a cleaning job. On Thursday, he was called for a second interview, and we are happy to share that he will be starting his new job next week!
 
All are welcome in the sewing class! You can register today and/or learn more about the Vincentian Open Arms program by clicking here.

The Vincentian Open Arms Program is a transformative initiative created in collaboration with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and Canterbury House. This program weaves together the strengths of our parish community and the vibrant energies of our newest neighbors arriving from Latin America. The collaboration aims to enhance the dignity and independence of all involved through skill development and employment opportunities. You can learn more here!
