A message from Lori…
Dear friends,
Happy New Year! We are thrilled to be ringing in 2022 as Catholic Charities Family and Community Services. It is an exciting and humbling experience to be writing this new chapter in our history with our staff, donors and partners. I am so pleased to share our latest updates with you.
In our transition planning, our board and staff have taken great care to employ principles that will allow us to continue the legacy of compassionate services to those who are vulnerable in our communities. We respect, honor and learn from the rich histories of Catholic Family Center and Catholic Charities Community Services; we continue to embrace best practices in operations and program delivery; and we act in service to each other and in service to those to whom we have the privilege of supporting. 
Our work could not be accomplished without the support from you and our community. Together, we will continue to walk with our clients on their path to independence and fulfillment.
Thank you for joining us. 
Warm regards,


Introducing Family and Community Services
