Catholic Charities Boston’s Family Child Care (FCC) had a “hue-tiful” time attending a recent service partner volunteer and networking event hosted by Cradles to Crayons Massachusetts at their Giving Factory in Newton. For over a decade, Cradles to Crayons has partnered with our agency to support FCC families through their mission to provide children living in #homeless or low-income situations with everyday essentials, including clothing, shoes, backpacks, and supplies needed to thrive. Pictured: #CatholicCharities staff Sandra Bispham Parkin, M.Ed., Senior Family Child Care Director; Nancy Duverge, FCC Case Manager; and Patrice Hewitt, FCC Provider Coordinator.

Another incredible Buddy Week in the books! Our Sunset Point campers had the unique opportunity to "buddy up" with kids from the South Shore Special Needs Athletic Partnership in Hingham, MA. Creating special connections and unforgettable memories like these makes camp truly impactful. #CatholicCharities #Boston #Nonprofit #Summer #Camp

Unity Day was a blast at the West Broadway Boston Housing Authority complex next door to the Labouré Center! We were proud to donate items for the cookout and raffle prizes, and we had a great time sharing information about our services. It was a day filled with food, music, games, and community spirit. #CatholicCharities #Boston #Nonprofit

Our leadership team took a break from the boardroom to enjoy a pizza party at Catholic Charities Inn today. Both the kids and leadership have learned that a little teamwork and a lot of toppings make the perfect recipe for success. #CatholicCharities #Boston #Nonprofit

We are so proud of J. Larry Mayes, SVP of Government and Community Relations, for his ongoing advocacy and community partnership efforts. Fostering a positive, supportive environment and breaking the cycle of violence for Boston youth is an important part of the work done at the Catholic Charities Teen Center in Dorchester and other programs as we strive to build a more just and equitable society based on the dignity of all people.
When I first met Paul F. Joyce, Ph.D. he was a Superintendent in the Boston Police Department working to end the cycle of youth violence within the city. In the 25 years I've known him, Paul has been a committed public safety professional and a tremendous asset in Boston because of his work in public safety and in partnership with other government departments like human services, and public health at both the municipal and state levels. When Paul asked me to write the forward for his new book, "It Started with the Hats: The Life Experiences of Boston's Founding Street Gang Members (Perspectives on Crime and Justice)," I was truly honored. This book depicts men, now in their 40s and beyond, who survived gang-related violence in their youth. Within these pages, Paul, with both his public safety experience and sociological training, gives these men the opportunity to offer insights into how Boston and other cities can continue to find solutions for cities today and into the future.
