About Us
In 1912, the groundwork for Catholic Charities was laid with the founding of St. Joseph’s Orphanage. In the following years, other institutions were opened to serve children, families and other people in need. Among these were a boardinghouse for young working women, a maternity home and St. Ann’s Home for the Elderly.
In 1927, Catholic Charities expanded its services to include adoption, foster care and pregnancy counseling. Its mission was to make Christ’s love for all human beings a visible and living reality for those in need.
