CATHOLIC CHARITIES

OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF MILWAUKEE

Mission: Inspired by Christ’s call to serve, our mission is to provide service to those in need, to advocate for

justice and to call upon others to do the same.

Vision: is to measurably improve the lives of those we serve, empower them to reach their full potential and

to help reduce poverty. We commit ourselves to respond to the needs of the poor-especially the most

vulnerable-by providing effective compassionate services. Our values we are guided by the following values

and practices:

Catholic Social teaching

The dignity of every person requires the right to life and the resources to achieve his/her full potential

Collaboration and partnership with the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and its parishes.

Catholic Charities Programs include: Community Outreach Services, Behavioral Health Services, Legal

Services to Immigrants, Adult Day Services, Caregivers Respite Services, Caregiver Support Groups, In-Home

Support Services, Adoption & Infant Foster Care, Supportive Parenting Services, Pregnancy Support

Coordination, and Refugee Resettlement Services. Catholic Charities works with parishes and other Catholic

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL

St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) is a Catholic organization comprised of parishioners who seek to help

those in need by loving and serving their neighbor person-to-person. Vincentian help includes any

person-to-person assistance that promotes human dignity and integrity; the Society is concerned not

only with relieving need but also with addressing the situations that cause it. Saint Vincent de Paul

operates in small groups, called “conferences.” Parishes throughout the Milwaukee Archdiocese have

Saint Vincent de Paul chapters; for additional information please contact your parish or the SVDP
