In 1957, it became the Centro Paroquial de Assistência e Formação Social, do Carvalhido, focusing on educational and material assistance for those in need. The institution was renamed in 1982 to Centro Social Paroquial do Carvalhido and expanded its services to include daycare, kindergarten, after-school care (ATL), and a community center.
