In October 2015, Catholic Charities, in collaboration with National Center for Institutions and Alternatives (NCIA), formed a partnership to create a new General Services/Automotive Technician program.

The goal of the program is to inspire hope and increase self-sufficiency for people in need, as well as bridge the gap in rising unemployment throughout the city. The program is housed at St. Edward’s Church in Baltimore.

Nevin Hall, a lifelong parishioner of New All Saints and a former altar server, is bringing new ideas and energy to his parish’s men’s club.

He was the driving force behind the club’s recent winter clothing drive benefiting children from economically disadvantaged families at the local public school. He also gave the organization a social media presence and has ideas for reaching out to young adults. 

“Our church has a lot of power to change the community that we actually live in,” Hall said. “Since we have so much influence, we need to be back in the community, reaching out as best we can.”
