Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Denver

OUR MISSION

As the charitable arm of the Archdiocese of Denver, and inspired by God’s love and compassion, Catholic Charities extends the healing ministry of Jesus Christ to the poor and those in need.

WHO WE ARE

Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Denver has been serving northern Colorado since 1927.

We serve tens of thousands of people each year in seven ministries: Marisol Services (for women), Early Childhood Education, Shelter Services, Archdiocesan Housing, Sacred Heart Counseling; Family, Kinship, and Senior Services; and Parish & Community Services. We also provide disaster relief services, such as the northern Colorado floods of 2013.

Catholic Charities is open to, and serves, all people. Volunteers donated 72,980 hours of their time to serve others through Catholic Charities in our most recent fiscal year. We collaborate with Catholic parishes, local businesses, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, medical facilities and educational institutions.
