The mission of the Presentation Lantern Center is to offer
hospitality, education and advocacy to adult immigrants
who are striving to better their lives.
At Presentation Lantern Center visitors are greeted by staff and volunteers. They receive a tutor with whom they study English; they learn practical life skills to use in a new country; they meet many people from other countries of origin; they share their stories and cultures; and they experience so much more! Since 2002, we have served over 2,500 immigrants, including children and aided 128 immigrants in obtaining U.S. citizenship.
