Hope lives here
Catholic Charities is the social service arm of our diocese; serving in the 20 southernmost counties of Minnesota. Catholic Charities provides help and creates hope for families in crisis, vulnerable adults and seniors, and children in need—regardless of age, faith tradition, ethnic background, or ability to pay. We are here for you!
The engaging little girl pictured was served through Catholic Charities and is already giving back—a young humanitarian. Aya’s 60 second story of hope can be found below. -
