HERE AT CATHOLIC CHARITIES, WE LIVE OUT OUR MISSION IN THREE DISTINCT WAYS:

  • We provide quality professional social services to individuals and families to transform hopelessness and despair into self-reliance and optimism.

  • We advocate for justice and respect to transform social structures so that human dignity, reverence for family life, and community well-being are embraced.

  • We expand knowledge, providing education and resources to assist Catholic parishes to live out the Gospel’s call to practice works of charity and justice.
