Since 1989 the Meelia Center has connected classroom and community.  Every semester over 250 students in dozens of courses across the disciplines apply class concepts through their community engagement.

The Community Center at Saint Raphael Parish offers vital resources and support to the Westside of Manchester. With a mission to uplift and empower refugee and immigrant families, the center offers critical services to the surrounding community.

A great way to get involved with community at Saint Anselm is through Meelia’s major service events.  

Access Academy is an after-school academic program serving Manchester high school students typically underrepresented in higher education (e.g., low-income, first generation, diverse student populations, and students not living at home)
