We believe we all have a responsibility to care for our neighbor. We believe in developing young minds and encouraging compassion in our community.

Rooted in our faith-based values of charity and justice, the mission of Catholic Charities is to serve and advocate for the poor, the sick, the distressed, children, youth, families, immigrants, and seniors, regardless of their faith.
