Tina has helped our blended family function. She is like talking to an old friend which makes it easy to open up and get to the bottom of things!
Rural Couple
Covid hit us hard - to the point our utilities were nearly shut off. Catholic Charities helped us keep connected so we could stabilize our financial situation. We are grateful!
Mother of a 9-year old
My daughter was really struggling when we had to be home so much and was very angry she couldn't see her friends. Thanks to Catholic Charities, she is happier and our family's home life is more peaceful.

Since I started coming to Catholic Charities, I have been able to control my emotions and better deal with the stress in my life. I no longer feel depressed, my self-esteem and self-confidence have improved and I can better care for my family.

My therapist and the office manager have been so supportive and caring. My therapist has provided constructive feedback and positive advice that has helped me in many difficult situations. Catholic Charities has been so helpful!
Young husband/father
Having someone listen to me, hear my problems and give me practical, straightforward solutions has been the best part of coming to Catholic Charities.
Fr. Brian Feller
Darla and Emily's Zoom session with the St. Edmond's staff was so to the point and helpful. They provided practical tips for cognitively and behaviorally responding to the grief within this pandemic. We are so grateful for the opportunity. Catholic Charities has such a handle on human development that we see in schools to which we don’t always understand or know how to best respond.
