Mission & Vision

Serving our neighbors with healing, help, and hope.

Since 1912, the ministries of Catholic Charities have lived our mission to bring the healing, help, and hope of Jesus Christ to those in need with a compassionate, caring presence.

The shared vision of each of our ministries is that Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of St. Louis will be a premier leader in community renewal and a visible catalyst for social outreach by connecting with people, parishes, and ministries committed to a meaningful communion of care to those in need across every square mile of the Archdiocese of St. Louis.

Faithful leadership for a communion of care.
