Being generous is everyone’s birthright, speaker says

Being generous is the birthright of every person, Kerry Alys Robinson said during a panel discussion hosted by Catholic Charities May 16, and if everyone takes advantage of the opportunity to be generous with their money, time and attention, there will be more than enough to go around.

Welcoming survivors to new life

Lucy* put her kids to bed. She prayed. Then she made a phone call. On the other end of the line, Aida Segura’s phone rang. It was late on a Saturday night — a time when the director for Catholic Charities House of Peace usually tries not to take calls. But sometimes she does, and something told her to answer.

Allowing Mary, Undoer of Knots, to guide us

Leading the Midwest’s largest private human services provider through COVID-19, and now as we regain our footing amid high inflation and ever-growing need, is not for the faint of heart.

Nourishing families feeds the body, soul

When Jessica (name changed) came to one of Catholic Charities’ grocery centers, she had no coats for her children.

Helping those who lost loved ones to suicide

Partner with us

“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace” (1 Pt 4:10). As First Peter beautifully reminds us, everyone has something to give and to receive. We witness this each day at Catholic Charities when we receive the transformational gifts of love, gratitude and divine encounter that those we serve bestow upon us.

Helping with mental health

Behavioral health refers to the emotions and behaviors that affect a person’s body, mind, spirit and overall well-being. Just like physical healthcare providers, trained behavioral health providers offer specialized services and case management support to identify the root causes of clients’ mental and behavioral conflicts and offer solutions for a more positive path forward.
