Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, rooted in the GOSPEL and SOCIAL TEACHINGS OF THE CHURCH, is the primary social service agency of the Diocese. Our mission is to serve with excellence, professionalism, integrity and compassion, the human needs of individuals and families, regardless of their religious affiliation, and to provide leadership in mobilizing the resources of parishes and the wider community in addressing these needs.
History of Organization
Each and every day, Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Pittsburgh extends the light of Christ to individuals and families in need with programs that provide help in the present and hope for a better future. In 1910, our outreach began by addressing the needs of struggling immigrant families who came to our region from various parts of Europe. Many were homeless, hungry and alone. Catholic Charities helped those families with food, clothing, shelter, and the skills necessary to begin a new life. Today, we proudly continue those efforts in the Catholic tradition with compassionate service that empowers individuals, strengthens families, and builds better communities. With offices in Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Greene, Lawrence and Washington counties, our services include basic needs and safety net services, health care for the uninsured, homeless services, refugee resettlement, and support for youth, families and the elderly.
