Aberg Center for Literacy The mission of the Aberg Center is to provide free quality instruction on literacy levels 5 through 8 to adults in the East Dallas area, accompanied by free child care, so that the students may continue progress toward employment and educational goals, including preparing for the GED test. The Aberg Center, founded at St. Matthew's Cathedral by Charles Aberg in 2002, is an example of Charles’ life-long determination to make the world a better place for others. An active member of St. Matthews Cathedral, Charles learned that many members of the church’s large Hispanic congregation wanted more than basic English as a second language (ESL) training. They were interested in improving their English and gaining skills that would enable them to lead productive lives in the English-speaking world. Until his life ended in April of 2005, one month shy of his 87th birthday, Charles was untiring in his commitment to ensure that the Aberg Center fulfilled his mission. He accomplished that, and more, with a program that has become a fitting legacy to his commitment to helping others help themselves. For more information about the Aberg Center, please call 214-826-6501 or visit their website at www.abergcenter.org.

Country Fair The Country Fair is the resale shop located in the undercroft (basement) of the Cathedral. Open the third Saturday morning of each month, The Country Fair offers a large selection of clothing, small household appliances, and nick knacks at affordable prices. Cesar Chavez Learning Center Reading Tutors St. Matthew’s provides volunteers to serve as reading tutors for students at Cesar Chavez Learning Center. Tutors spend a half hour each week with one or two students using a very easily usable curriculum to assist the student with learning to read and comprehend. Interested?
