Celebrating 25 Years – Video
The Celebrating 25 years video highlights the
history of TEACH from its origins to its
present-day mission.
1993
The Sisters of St. Joseph created TEACH as
a ministry to teach English skills to the
growing immigrant population, and facilitate
their inclusion into the community in fulfillment
of the spiritual mission “That All May Be One.”
The sisters purchased a used bookmobile to
house the program.
2004
TEACH was created to form partnerships
with schools, libraries, churches, community
centers, and businesses.
A replacement TEACH bus was purchased.
2011
TEACH merged to form TEACH, a private
501(c)(3) sponsored ministry of the
Congregation of St. Joseph.
Today
TEACH has 17 sites in Cook, DuPage, and
Will counties. Over 850 students are
supported by 300 volunteers.
TEACH continues fulfilling its founding
mission “That All May Be One.”
The Congregation of St. Joseph has been
serving the educational needs of communities
across the U.S. for more than 150 years.
The Sisters of St. Joseph in LaGrange Park
have been serving the area since 1899.
