The Centro Altagracia is dedicated to faith in action; promoting social justice through active collaboration with parishes, community organizations, and individuals and through initiatives that serve the needs of the community as those needs have been identified by the Hispanic community of northern Manhattan. We seek to awaken awareness within individuals of how their Catholic, Christian faith calls them to be aware of the issues impacting their community and to be engaged in action to address these issues. Among the Centro's programs are: Social/Pastoral Ministry Teams that serve as coordinators and catalysts for social awareness and action within parishes; H.E.L.P. (Hispanic Evangelization Leadership Program) that trains young adults for leadership roles within their parishes; and G.R.A.C.E. (Gaining Respect and Awareness through Community Education) which addresses the issue of domestic violence. The Centro also maintains a library of books and DVDs for community use.

The Dominican Outreach Center or Centro Altagracia de Fe y Justicia (Altagracia Center for Faith and Justice) was formed by the New York Province of the Society of Jesus in response to the unmet needs of the Dominican community of the Washington Heights area. In a period of slightly more than one year the Centro Altagracia has been able to make incredible strides in establishing itself in the community through its work with the ten parishes of the North Manhattan vicariate, various community organizations, and elected officials.

The middle-school years are important for the future success of academically gifted children, whose educational and developmental needs are special. At this age, boys need role models, mentors, and educational challenges to help them reach the high goals set by schools, teachers and parents. Unfortunately low family income often prevents boys from growing into high-achieving students and leaders, and their potential often goes unnoticed and underdeveloped.

Founded in the summer of 2002, the REACH Program is for middle school boys in the New York City area

• who are Catholic
• who are academically gifted and talented and have leadership potential
• whose families have significant financial need.

REACH (Recruiting Excellence in Academics for Catholic High Schools) is an educational and leadership program that prepares students to earn admission to Regis, as well as other top Catholic high schools in New York City. Whether at Regis or elsewhere, REACH hopes that all of its participants develop into young men willing to serve as leaders in the Church, in the community, and in their profession.

Seeking to work in partnership with New York City parochial, public, and private elementary schools, REACH accepts nominations of boys who are completing the 5th grade and display the early signs of potential to eventually earn admission to Regis. The program is an outstanding opportunity for boys to nurture their gifts of mind, spirit, and leadership.
