Dreams can be immensely powerful. This summer, we watched Olympic champions bring
home “Gold” when they dared to dream and faced down their challenges. But you don’t have
to go to the Olympics to witness the power of dreams. You can see champions facing their
challenges and striving for gold every day at Bethany Hill School in Framingham.
Homelessness, unemployment, addiction, and trauma are daily challenges for members of
our community. Residents at Bethany Hill School have found a home where they can live,
learn, and dream to be their very best selves. Sometimes dreams unfold quietly – like when
a resident marks a milestone in his sobriety or obtains her GED. Other dreams yield broader
celebration -- like when a child raised at Bethany Hill School graduates from college! (REGIS
TODAY, Spring 2012). Dreams that are realized speak to Bethany Hill’s unique environment,
where residents are embraced and encouraged by a community of neighbors, staff, board, and
volunteers.
Bethany Hill School is an exceptionally beloved and successful ministry of the Congregation
of the Sisters of St. Joseph. One of our goals this year was to build upon that affection
by increasing our visibility in the Metro West community. We made concrete and visible
progress toward this objective with the award of a HOME grant from Town of Framingham.
In partnership with the Congregation, these resources allowed us to repoint our building’s
masonry and replace our roof. We also were delighted to host the Leadership for MetroWest
Academy for a day-long panel discussion on Housing. And to keep in touch with you, we’ve
started using social media, including Facebook, a blog, and an e-newsletter, so you can watch
our dreams unfold.
Bethany Hill School draws daily inspiration from our residents and from the Sisters of St.
Joseph who “dared to dream” and created Bethany Hill School. We are proud to serve as
stewards of this critical work. We look to you—our community of former residents, partners,
volunteers, sponsors, donors, Board members, and Board alums—to help us add new friends
and realize our dreams.
Thank you for dreaming with us.

The Dream Unfolds
Every day at Bethany Hill School, dreams are quietly unfolding
thanks to the hard work and perseverance of our residents
and staff throughout the year. This year we hosted “Sweet Success” evenings
to share these dreams with each other. As a
community, we celebrated milestones in the
lives of the individuals and families who call
Bethany Hill their home, and recognized that
while accomplishment come in all shapes
and sizes, all hold meaning. Some significant
accomplishments this year included the
households who have rebuilt their lives after
experiencing homelessness; two recent college
graduates; 4 young women working toward
their GEDs; 5 residents who secured jobs; and
a mother of five who is helped by her children to
study for the Certified Nurse Assistant exam. 2
