Catholic Charities Parish Outreach Program is a delivery of support and services for persons in need, regardless of religion, race, or ethnic origin, within the context of the parish community life. It offers opportunity for ecumenical outreach to, and with, the neighbors of the parish community as well as within the parish itself.

Lay Leadership Development
The program re-energizes parishes from the inside out. The program emphasizes leadership development through a ministry of volunteer services. Brainstorming sessions are conducted to determine the needs of each parish as well as its surrounding neighborhood. Local parishes and parishioners are the outreach arm of the Church throughout the Diocese. Parishioners help people with various social service needs, supported by Catholic Charities through training and workshops built around the needs of individual parishes.
