Mission Statement
Respecting the dignity and potential of each human person, Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans collaborates
with the wider community to serve those in need. Impelled by the love and teaching of Jesus Christ, we offer life-giving
programs, advocate for the voiceless, and empower the poor and vulnerable to foster a more just society.
Description
Prior to Hurricane Katrina, Catholic Charities operated more than 30 programs addressing such issues as hunger, poverty,
unemployment, domestic violence, education and the needs of the mentally ill, low-income seniors and at-risk children.
Today, Catholic Charities serves those whose lives have been changed forever by Hurricane Katrina, in addition to many of
those we served before.
Catholic Charities is an effective and efficient organization serving over 150,000 people annually with an
administrative rate of just 7%. Over 92 cents of every donated dollar goes to direct services. Since Hurricane Katrina, we have served
nearly 500,000 people. Go to Program Highlights >
Today, as we help rebuild the New Orleans metropolitan area, Catholic Charities is committed to continuing its tradition
of excellence in service to the community. As we respond, recover and rebuild, we are ministry in motion for all who
need our assistance.
