Every year, tens of thousands of people of every religion and ethnicity come to Catholic Charities for assistance. Our programs provide high-quality care while respecting confidentiality and individual dignity.
This work is an active expression of our faith and is guided by Catholic Social Teaching. It is our hope that by sharing some of those basic principles that friends and colleagues will gain a greater understanding of what drives us and will be inspired and strengthened in their own work as well.
