CCOC is pleased to have been mentioned in the OC Catholic article by Meg Waters, in the special OC Catholic – Commemorative Edition – 50th Anniversary of Diocese of Orange.
As the Diocese celebrates its 50th anniversary, Catholic Charities also celebrates 50 years as the heart of the diocese’s Catholic social services. In 1975, Catholic Community Agencies was one of the leading providers of hope and resettlement to more than 50,000 Vietnamese refugees who entered the United States via MCAS/El Toro after the fall of Saigon. A year later, the newly named Catholic Charities of Orange County (CCOC) came under the mantle of the newly formed Diocese of Orange. In the five decades since, CCOC has continued to serve the most vulnerable among us with compassion, dignity and faith.
