Colleen Murphy '20 joined the Urban Catholic Teacher Corps upon graduation and recently received her master's in education from Boston College while completing her second year of teaching at Trinity Catholic Academy Brockton. "My education classes at Saint Mary’s College helped prepare me for teaching kindergarten and being able to adapt to the challenges of teaching during a pandemic!" Thank you for pursuing a very challenging profession, especially during the pandemic! You are an amazing educator, Colleen!

Last night, our members had the pleasure of attending the 32nd Annual Building Minds Scholarship Fund Celebration hosted by The Catholic Schools Foundation. The Building Minds Scholarship is the signature program of the Catholic Schools Foundation. Through this fund, thousands of children in need receive partial scholarships to attend Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Boston. Scholarships are given primarily to students in high poverty neighborhoods and are awarded without regard to race, religion, national origin or gender. We’re thankful to have been a part of such a wonderful evening! 📚✝️ 👏🏻

Pictured here we have Sarah H., member of Cohort 24, and Bridget C., member of Cohort 25, both Emmanuel College graduates, alongside Sister Janet Eisner, SNDdeN, who has served as Emmaunel College’s President since 1979. Sister Eisner was honored with the Carolyn and Peter Lynch Award at the celebration last night. UCTC extends our sincerest congratulations to Sister Eisner!

This past weekend, UCTC members and staff gathered at the Connors Family Retreat and Conference Center in Dover, MA for Fall Retreat! Members took time to reflect individually, in their cohorts and their living communities about their successes, struggles, and plans for the future. UCTC retreats are always weekends filled with prayer, intention setting, and fun! We are already looking forward to Spring Retreat!
