On the Cover

In 2006, Boston College, together with the Archdiocese of Boston and Saint Columbkille Parish forged a partnership that saw possibility where others saw hopelessness. The Saint Columbkille Partnership School is a wonder to behold! Students are taught to dream big, think deeply and engage in problem solving. The school is now a living example that urban Catholic education can flourish, opening doors of opportunity for children. God’s mosaic is on display at Saint Columbkille Partnership School. Families from different socio-economic, racial and ethnic backgrounds make up their community. During the past ten years, enrollment has increased from 140 to 430 students.
