English as a Second Language
-
The English as a Second Language Ministry at St. Albert the Great aims to reach out to adults in our diverse community to provide an opportunity to learn English. Language barriers can be frustrating when one attempts to communicate in everyday situations. Many of our brothers and sisters struggle with English and we are here to help! We aim to build confidence in communicating in English in everyday situations with doctors, teachers, employers, etc. -
