Who We Host
Pro Gente Connections
Pro Gente Connections ProGente Connections (PGC)—“for the people”—was founded in 2012 as a mission initiative of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts to strengthen cross-cultural partnership between Brazilian and American communities in MetroWest. Now a ministry of St. Andrew’s, PGC works alongside local partners to support Brazilian immigrants through language programs, community-building, and faith-based connection.
Brasileirinhos USA
”To preserve children’s connection to their cultural heritage and to strengthen their ties to their families and community.”
The Performing Arts Center of MetroWest
The Performing Arts Center of MetroWest moved in during October 2016, and now runs classes every weekday afternoon and evening. This is a great service to the community we are able to provide, as PAC looks for a permanent home. Through this arrangement, St. Andrew’s is able to make our building available to the wider community, which is an important symbol of vitality and viability for a church.
