Who we Are
Catholic Charities
is a place of Help
and Hope.
Providing Help. Creating Hope.
As the charitable arm of the Diocese of Colorado Springs, families and individuals come to Catholic Charities to begin their journey from crisis to stability, to weather the current storm, or to heal a broken spirit.
Through our faith, our staff and volunteers guide those we serve with compassion and purpose, helping map out the journey based upon realistic goals and abilities, utilizing Catholic Charities’ programs and services, partner agencies, community collaborations, and Catholic Social Teaching. At our core, we understand that every connection has the potential to empower and uplift, to breathe life into aspirations and dreams. Through these bonds, lives are impacted and transformed.
We offer our services because we believe in the sanctity of the human person and the dignity of human life – the underlying foundation for Catholic Social Teaching and our work. We serve anyone in need regardless of faith, race, gender, age, disability, socioeconomic level, sexual orientation, or background.
We believe relationships empower and transform lives – that people who are experiencing poverty and injustice should be “seen” and served.

Matthew
25:35-36, 40
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.
And the king will say to them in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’”
Today is sponsored by the Calhoun Family In memory of their son Jacob Calhoun. Their generosity and kindness honors his memory and helps so many in our community. Thank you!

For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness. For by You, I can run against a troop, and by my God, I can leap over a wall. This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; He is a shield for all those who take refuge in Him.
2 Samuel 22:29-31
