Member Agencies
Catholic Charities' policy is to consider for membership agencies that meet the following criteria:
- organized under the governance of a voluntary Board of Directors;
- provide effective direct social, health, community or related services to meet an identified need in a specific geographic area of the Archdiocese;
- ensure service provided is consistent with the pastoral, moral and social teachings of the Catholic Church; and
- financially viable.
Catholic Charities consists of a network of 29 agencies whose mission is to address the physical, social, emotional and economic needs of the community. You are invited to check out our member agencies and the work in which they have been involved.
