CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES OF FALL RIVER INC

Mission Statement

Our diverse programming model , "to help those in need," with services designed to reach out to those facing socioeconomic, cultural and racial barriers that preclude their engagement in mainstream services. The mission of Catholic Social Services responds to those who face various forms of oppression and injustice. CSS employs linguistically proficient, culturally diverse/sensitive staff that demonstrate a unique capacity to strengthen the clients with whom we work. CSS is currently the largest provider of social and human services to immigrants in the southeast region and the largest provider of beds for the homeless outside of the Greater Boston region. Our programs provide services to individuals and target systemic discrepancies, thereby fulfilling our mission to address immediate and structural problems. CSS formally links and collaborates with local parishes, agencies and systems to create strengthened community services.
