CFS Durham [images/stories/logos/logos09/CFSDurham.jpg]Catholic Family Services of Durham found what it was looking for was already there. The family counselling agency dropped the word “acting” from Elizabeth Pierce’s title, making her the new executive director. Pierce takes over an agency with a $1.3-million annual budget, 19 regular employees and three contract counsellors. Catholic Family Services of Durham deals with families from the eastern edge of Toronto to the Bowmanville area, and as far north as Port Perry. She has been with the agency for more than 14 years, mostly working as senior counselling program manager.
Throughout every stage of our lives we feel the need to be accepted by our peers. We first realize this during our school years. And by the time we reach high school, we often find this need supersedes all else. As a Catholic youth, I am no different. That said, the question comes to mind: can I be Catholic and still be cool?
