It was 25 years ago when twenty immigrant women came to the literacy center at the Saint Catherine, Morgan Hill old Parish Hall. These 20 women, their little children, the Sisters of the Presentation and volunteers began the tradition that continues today. The Cen- ter continued to grow from 20 women to almost 200 women each year, along with 55-60 children enrolled in the free preschool. The Anniversary Celebration begins with an 11:30 a.m. Mass in the church with Bishop Patrick J. McGrath presid- ing; following Mass, the Recognition Celebration will continue in O’Donnell Parish Center with complimentary fare, testimonials and celebrations of the 25 years that have changed and improved the lives of many women of many cul- tures.
