Since 1910, Catholic Charities has served Southwestern Pennsylvania with a mission rooted in the teachings of Jesus. We connect people to resources, heal minds and bodies, and empower individuals and families to build lasting stability—regardless of faith or background. Guided by Catholic social teaching, we uphold the dignity of every person and work toward a more compassionate, just, and hopeful world.
Faith-Inspired Service
We serve with compassion, guided by the Gospel and Catholic social teaching.
Dignity of the Person
Every person is worthy of love, respect, and opportunity—no matter their circumstances.
Empowerment Through Support
We meet urgent needs while helping people build long-term stability and self-sufficiency.
Why Monthly Giving Matters
Make an Impact All Year Long
Hope doesn’t happen just once—it’s something people need every day. Because of this, becoming a monthly donor is vital. When you commit to a monthly gift, you provide steady, life-changing support to neighbors facing hunger, homelessness, illness, and crisis.
Furthermore, your ongoing generosity means we can show up—again and again—with food, shelter, healthcare, and compassion. As a result, our community becomes stronger and more resilient.
