New Britain, CT – Since the late nineteenth century, Polish immigrants have been settling in New Britain, CT, to find work in its many manufacturing facilities. By the 1930’s, one quarter of the city’s population was of Polish descent.

Today, nearly 20% of the population of New Britain is foreign-born, and more than 40% are Polish. And while New Britain’s Little Poland neighborhood offers a welcoming place to enjoy their culture, these new residents still need a place to learn a new culture and a new language. Since 2008, the Siena Learning Center, run by the Dominican Sisters of Peace, has been that place for immigrants of all nationalities.

The Siena Learning Center marked its tenth anniversary on September 2018. The Center was also honored with a Proclamation from the Mayor of New Britain, Erin Stewart, who attended the Anniversary celebration.
