“This was our inaugural effort with Habitat for Humanity. We hope this will be an ongoing organization for Malden Catholic,” states Peter Ghiloni, Chairperson of Theology at MC.
The mission of Habitat for Humanity is so comparable to the mission of Malden Catholic High School that a collaborated effort was an outstanding partnership. Giving back to the community and helping those less fortunate is an aim of both organizations.
