Parish
Outreach and Program Development
Answering the Gospel call to care for the
least among us, the POPD staff, in partnership with parishes,
responds to and supports the Church’s mission of charity and
justice as it is lived out in a variety of ministries. Education and
action are rooted in scripture and Catholic Social Teaching.
Community organizing is fostered in the parish cluster model. A
unique collaboration exists between the social ministry office and
the Archdiocesan Council of St. Vincent de Paul. Emergency
assistance is provided through the St. Vincent de Paul Downtown
Conference funded by Catholic Charities.
JustFaith
A new program for personal and community transformation so as to
live our faith more radically. For more information call

Loaves and Fishes
Loaves and
Fishes is a meal on wheels program for people living with HIV/AIDS.
Meals are prepared and delivered by a team of volunteers. Recipients
receive meals twice a week in their homes. This service is provided
at no cost.
Faith Community Nursing
A parish nurse is a registered nurse who
ministers to the whole person - physically, socially, emotionally,
but with special emphasis on the spiritual dimension. They serve as
health educators, personal health counselors, resources for church
and community services, advocates for those in need and facilitators
of volunteer health ministers. The program is a collaborative effort
of parishes, Catholic Charities, Schools of Nursing and hospitals.

St. Vincent de Paul
Because we believe that the St. Vincent de
Paul Society has a long history in parishes of meeting the needs of
the poor, the social ministry department maintains a unique
collaboration with the Archdiocesan Council of St. Vincent de Paul.
Catholic Charities provides a Council Office with secretarial
assistance, publishing, printing, training opportunities, referral
of community resources, and the funding of the Downtown Conference.
The Vincentian Conferences, composed of lay volunteers, respond to
emergency requests in the parishes on a daily basis.
