The Cardinal Cushing Centers are a set of education and support facilities for developmentally and intellectually challenged adults and children operated by the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi.
The centers offer education, training, residential and employment services, and recreational facilities on a campus at 369 Washington Street in Hanover, Massachusetts.
[1] The Cushing Center campus is located in northern Hanover on 175 acres (71 ha) roughly bisected by Washington Street.
The school was modeled on St. Coletta's by the Sea, founded in Jefferson, Wisconsin in 1904 by the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi.
Cushing again appealed to the Kennedy family, which provided further funding for additional residential space which was added in 1957.
