Who we Are

Catholic Charities
is a place of Help
and Hope.

Providing Help.  Creating Hope.

Helping Our Neighbors in Need.
At Catholic Charities, helping our neighbors isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are.  As the charitable arm of the Diocese of Colorado Springs and a trusted Health and Human Service agency, individuals and families turn to us in moments of crisis—to weather the storm, to heal a broken spirit, or to begin their journey toward stability and hope.

Many of our neighbors face challenges like a lack of affordable housing, raising children with limited resources, or securing living-wage employment—all without a support network. When they walk through our doors, they are often hungry, scared, and overwhelmed. But they are never alone.

Compassionate Support. Real Solutions.
Our staff and volunteers listen, care, and help create realistic plans based on each person’s goals and strengths. We connect clients to vital programs, community partners, and resources—all grounded in Catholic Social Teaching and a deep belief in the dignity of every human life.

We serve anyone in need, regardless of faith, race, gender, age, disability, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, or background—because every person matters.

Hope Begins With You.
Every connection has the power to uplift, to breathe life into aspirations, and to transform lives. Your support makes that possible.  Thank you for your compassion, your support, and your belief in the power of hope.

We believe relationships empower and transform lives – that people who are experiencing poverty and injustice should be “seen” and served.

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.’”
