CORAM Inglés Básico/Basic English Adult ESL Update and Changes
Effective immediately we will not have classes at STM. We are taking a 3 week break. We will restart Coram ESL on MONDAY, February 7 at OLR with a 6:30-8:30 pm class time. That’s correct. Date, time, and location are changing. The need for the class was so great that by week TWO (2), yes week two, we had drastically outgrown our space at STM! Week 1 we had 48 adults in class and by week 2 we had grown to over 60! The OLR school building will allow us to provide 3 different levels of English instruction. The classroom environment will be quieter and more conducive to learning and relationship building. Moving the classes to Monday nights gives everyone the opportunity to attend WWPR region level events (which occur on Tuesday night) such as the upcoming Cannon Law Series and School of Faith Lenten Series. The later start time will also make it easier for families to arrive after work. Effective immediately we will not have classes at STM.
Beginning MONDAY February 7, 2022 CORAM Inglés Básico/Basic English Adult ESL will restart at the OLR school building. Improvements/changes include…
- Monday night class at OLR
- New class start time 6:30-8:30pm
- 3 levels of English will be offered with weekly topic specific lessons
- At this time advanced registration is still not required for adults attending English class
- There will still be a room for school age kids to do homework/play games quietly
- There will be two rooms for young children (a nursery and a preschool room)
- Masks will be required for all adults & school age children
We still need an army of SafeParish trained volunteers to make these classes a success. If you would like to volunteer or know someone who would like to help, please don’t hesitate to share the signup genius link with them.

Donation Needed
Do you have an electric/digital keyboard that needs a new home? We have a growing Latino music ministry at St. Matthias church, and there is a need for a larger (76 or 88 key) digital keyboard and stand for rehearsals.
if you have a keyboard you are willing to donate or for more information. Thank you!
