Parish Partnerships

Strengthening parish ministries by partnering with Catholic Charities Atlanta.

Parish Partnerships

Every day, Catholic Charities helps address the effects of poverty in our community. We help the most vulnerable move toward a life of independence and self-sufficiency. If we can’t help, we know who can. With 8 core services and 20+ programs, we help more than 18,000 Georgians annually.

As Catholics, we are called to follow the social teaching of the Church:

  • Life and Dignity of the Human Person
  • Call to Family, Community, and Participation
  • Rights and Responsibilities
  • Option for the Poor and Vulnerable
  • The Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers
  • Solidarity
  • Care for God’s Creation

We welcome your parish ministries, RCIA groups, youth groups and individuals to serve out your faith through education, direct service and acts of charity through Catholic Charities Atlanta.

Want to know more about how we impact North Georgia?

Host a casual and compelling thirty-minute program at a ministry meeting!  Our Faces of Hope tours provide insights into the plights of those in need. Whether it is the person facing homelessness, the veteran returning home or the refugee learning to live in their new country—you will be given an up close look into our clients and learn how we assist them through a hand up-not a hand out philosophy.
