Dignity
We respect the inherent dignity of every person, regardless of faith, identity, background, or circumstance.
Who we are
For more than 150 years, Catholic Charities has been an integral part of the Twin Cities community, directly serving our most vulnerable neighbors. For us, caring goes beyond belief.
We deliver essential services including affordable housing, emergency shelter, nutritious meals, mental health care, addiction resources, and more. Catholic Charities offers a lifeline to those facing hardship, providing support and developing solutions to build stronger communities. Regardless of faith, identity, background or circumstances, we treat everyone with dignity and respect.
This transformative work wouldn’t be possible without our dedicated staff and the generous support of our donors, volunteers, and advocates.
