Volunteer Times** DEPARTMENT SPOTLIGHT
Our Legal Department provides services to low-income people of all
faiths. The services provided range from free to minimal costs depending on the person ’s income
level. The team of 4 attorneys, 5 paralegals, and 2 AmeriCorps members provide assistance through
the Immigration Legal Education and Advocacy Project (ILEAP), which assists individuals with:
Deportation defense Emergency Medical Extensions of Status
Citizenship Family-based Green Cards
TPS DACA
Employment Authorization Asylum
They also assist immigrants who may be victims of domestic violence, child abuse, human trafficking,
workplace exploitation, and other crimes through the Immigrant Victims Representation Project
(IVRP).
The services are provided throughout our Diocese with offices located in Fall River, New Bedford and
Cape Cod. The lawyers and paralegals speak a variety of languages, including Spanish, Portuguese,
Khmer, and Guatemalan K’iche’.
Recently, the legal department has been
holding Temporary Protected Status (TPS)
clinics to assist the Haitian community.
TPS is a temporary legal immigration status given to individu-
als from certain countries so affected by war or natural disas-
ters, that it is dangerous for people to return. They must have virtually no criminal history to qualify,
and, if they do qualify, they are given the ability to work in the US to support themselves and their
families for 18 months.
On September 26th, John Paul II High School in Hyannis opened their doors to the community,
allowing lawyers, interpreters, church leaders, and volunteers to
come together to help the Haitian community prepare the forms
necessary to apply for this temporary status.
Like all we do and offer at CSS, it is
YOU the volu nteers that m ake
events like this possible. For all you do and for the many volunteers
who came out to help—THANK YOU!
Our agency and it’s sites are always seeking volunteers to serve their clients and to assist with services
we provide. If you are looking for a volunteer opportunity that allows you to make a difference, con-
tact Rose Mary at 508-674-4681.
If you or someone you know is in need of legal services, call the intake line at 508-674-4681.

SPECIAL POINTS OF INTEREST
Volunteers: W e w ould love to send everyone a copy of the news-letter—be sure to keep you infor-mation up-to-date. Email [email protected] or call 508-674-4681 Ext. 1111.
Happy Birthday to all our volunteers who celebrated a birthday in September and will be celebrating in October. In future editions, we would love to honor and recognize YOU! Email your name and birthday to [email protected] or call 508-674-4681 Ext. 1111.
We have hosted “Give Back” - Fridays in four out of five deaneries to date. Our
first took place in North Attleboro, followed by Taunton, New Bedford and Fall
River.
It has been a fun and exciting event for not
only the staff and volunteers, but also for
the children and families that participate.
It was truly amazing to see the faces of the children light up
when they spotted the toys. For one of our little guests,
finding a “sparkly” hat was the highlight of her day.
Little Ryleigh refused to take it off once she found
it. She, her mom and her baby sibling were just a
few of the families that have visited the events.
Watching the children made everyone’s day. A little boy
was so excited with his new Paw Patrol toy, that he went off to
play with it oblivious to the world around him. Another young
man was so thrilled with his new remote control car and could
not get it out of the package fast enough. One little girl found a
grassy spot and sat down to start coloring. It was so rewarding
to see and experience.
It was also very gratifying when parents told us how much this makes a difference
for them. A fact that is most poignant when we hear them say Christmas will be a
lot brighter because of this event. All this has been possible by the generosity of
so many individuals, church groups, the community and the dedicated volun-
teers.
In addition to the clothing, coats and toys,
each week a lucky child wins one of three
bicycles. As you can see on the left, the staff
had fun modeling some of the bicycles to be
raffled off.
Truth be told, I honestly don’t know who was
more excited the children and families present or the
staff and volunteers - I would venture to say—it was about
even.
To date, we have served over 470 children,
with one more “Give Back” - Friday yet to go. A program that
started as a simple idea, has made such a big impact—bringing
together staff, volunteers, church communities, and the commu-
nity at large across our great Diocese of Fall River. This truly has
been a “labor of love.”
“Let all that you do be done in love.” - 1 Corinthians 16:14

“GIVE BACK” - FRIDAYS
We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.” —Mother Teresa
Did you know that...
1. Volunteers know there's a silver lining; they see it every day.
2. "There are three kinds of people: Those who make things happen, those who
watch things happen, and those who say, 'what happened?'" ~ Casey Stengel
3. Smart cookies don't crumble, they become volunteers.
4. When you become a volunteer, you think about how it makes you feel, until you
actually help someone and see how it makes them feel!
5. Life can give you lemons, and volunteers use them with vinegar to clean stuff!
6. Volunteers are love in motion.
7. If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosqui-
to." African proverb
