CATHOLIC CHARITIES AND CARING
Catholic Charities and caring go hand in hand. As a human service agency dedicated to meeting specific needs of the family of God, we help the archdiocese respond lovingly to the Gospel imperative to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, welcome the stranger, visit the sick.
Our services are directed to children, teens, adults, older adults, couples, parishes, and the broader community. Our role is to help the people who come to us to heal the hurts that are disrupting their lives and utilize their innate strengths to face life's challenges.
Services are open to people in need in the 10-county Milwaukee archdiocese without regard to religion, ethnic, racial or economic background. Most clients come on their own initiative; others are referred by priests, doctors, relatives, friends or other community agencies.

ADULT CARE MINISTRIES
Catholic Charities offers a wide range of care options for older adults who require some assistance in order to continue to live safely within the community, rather than in a nursing home or attendant care facility. Adult day centers provide partial and full day care for seniors enabling their caregivers to attend to their employment and other family responsibilities. The adult day centers also function as resource centers for families and caregivers of older adults providing information on aging needs as well as educational opportunities and support for caregivers.
Catholic Charities also offers in-home support services that enable older adults to continue to live independently in their own homes. Brief respite care services and a ‘social model’ day care center are also available to help support older adults living in the community. Assessment and referral services are provided as needed.
Catholic Charities’ Ministry On Aging provides services to older adults, information and referral information to the families of older adults, parish consultation and collaboration on aging issues, community education, an annual Conference on Aging, and intergenerational volunteer opportunities.
FAMILY & CHILDREN’S MINISTRIES
The focus of Catholic Charities' Family & Children's Ministries is to enhance, support and maintain the strength of family in myriad ways and through numerous services. From parent nurturing programs to legal services to immigrants, from adoption search to refugee resettlement - Catholic Charities provides supportive services for families and children in need. The staff of Catholic Charities' Family & Children's Ministries are true advocates for individuals and families, cognizant of the client's right to participate in decisions that affect their lives. Catholic Charities services are available to persons of all faiths.
SOCIAL MINISTRIES
Catholic Charities recognizes the value and contribution of parish based organizations and committees - Knights of Columbus, Human Concerns Committees, Outreach Committees - provide to their faith community and the broader community. Our vision as an organization focuses on forming more meaning relationships with parishes and believes that working collaboratively with parishes furthers the reach and impact of both the parish and Catholic Charities.
Through this effort we look to effectively implement the seven principles of Catholic Social Teaching as we work together to serve the needy in our midst, to live the Gospel, and become ever more faith-filled communities by assisting parishioners to participate in more collaborative community ministries, in concrete works of charity, justice and peace.
