Boston Scientologists Provide Effective Community Help

Three days a week, Boston Scientologists provide one-on-one tutoring to children and adults at the Dorchester Scientology Volunteer Ministry, a free community center serving the inner city of Boston.

Rev. Robert Castagna established the Dorchester Scientology Volunteer Ministry in the summer of 2004 to assist the community with crime and violence reduction. “We wanted to do something effective to help the community,” said Rev. Castagna. “Literacy affects so many aspects of life. The amount of crime in an area directly corresponds with literacy rates, so we decided to provide tutoring as our first activity.”

The ministry also provides other services based on the Scientology Handbook, the text that forms the backbone of Scientology Volunteer Minister training. These services address such subjects as parenting, improving relationships and crime prevention.

The center is open Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 3:00 to 7:00, Saturdays and by special appointment.
