The mission of Catholic Charities in the Diocese of Norwich is to participate in the saving mission of Christ by providing compassionate, high-quality social services, counseling, education, research and advocacy, with special attention to the poor and disadvantaged.
It is our vision to:
- provide effective and efficient social services in the areas of basic human needs, adoption, mental health, family life education, foster care, and pregnancy services.
- support, strengthen and empower families and individuals to attain their highest level of self-sufficiency through education and enrichment programs.
- assist homeless and disadvantaged families and individuals to meet their needs and become participating members of society.
- work cooperatively with diocesan offices, community agencies and other service providers, payors, and others to ensure that an appropriate continuum of services is available to enhance the well-being of the community.
- serve as a vehicle through which individual Catholics and others might assist those in need.
