Life in the City
Empire City. The Big Apple. The City that Never Sleeps. New York City is the largest city in the United States, and in 2016 welcomed ACE New York to serve the Catholic school communities of Harlem and the South Bronx. Known as the media capital of the world, New York is home to some of the best music, shopping, architecture, and history the world has to offer.

Why did you say "yes" to serving children in Catholic schools through ACE?
I said "yes" to serving children in Catholic schools through ACE because I want to make a difference. I know how important it is to have a good Catholic school teacher, as I have had many myself. A good Catholic school teacher will make you feel loved as a child of God and support you in more than just academics, which is something that I’m so excited to be able to do. I also feel called to teaching, and ACE allows me to follow my vocation and serve God through my work.
