Founded in 1922, Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fort Wayne–South Bend’s mission is to serve those in need as Christ would have us do. As the principal charitable organization of the Catholic Church in the diocese, all of our 20 agency programs work to strengthen families and eradicate poverty by supporting the mental, physical and spiritual needs of those living in the 14 counties that make up northeast Indiana.

As we approach our 100th anniversary in 2022, we are collecting stories from past and present individuals, couples and families we have served to help us celebrate this big milestone. We want to hear how Catholic Charities has made an impact on YOU! If you are a past employee, board member or volunteer, or you have received services from any of our past or present programs, please share with us what program you were enrolled in, how long ago and how we helped you.
