New Staff

Since Adrian McGrath completed his two year stint as a Literacy AmeriCorps member, there have been no entries to this blog. Adrian was the creator, writer, and editor of the blog. His absence is greatly felt!

As a newly regrouped staff, we will continue to communicate with you through this medium - maybe not as colorfully or frequently as the previous writer!!

In early August, Sr. Bonita Sniegowski began teaching at SVdPALC. Sister came to New Orleans two years ago with three other members of her community to teach at St. Leo the Great Elementary School. Besides her experience as teacher and administrator in traditional Catholic schools, Sr. Bonita brings experience in adult education. Her quiet, affirming manner with our participants is an added gift to this program.

Becky Kleive is a member of our first St. Joseph Worker endeavor. This is a new ministry of the Congregation of St. Joseph, enabling four young college graduates to engage in some service to the community and experience community living.

Becky graduated in May from St. Olaf College in Minnesota with a double major: Women's Studies and Environmental Studies. Her youthful enthusiasm and willing spirit are welcomed in this center.
