Consistent with the principles of Catholic social teaching, we build bridges of hope, mercy, and justice as we accompany struggling families and individuals to greater self-sufficiency, one relationship at a time. We collaborate and advocate for necessary changes in social policy. We call the local Catholic Church and others of goodwill to engage in acts of mercy and justice. We support and resource our 110 parishes to expand this work across the Archdiocese of Louisville.
