Parish and Community Social Action

Our work for social justice is first and foremost a work of faith, a profoundly religious task. It is Jesus who calls us to this mission, not any political or ideological agenda. We are called to bring the healing hand of Christ to those in need; the courageous voice of the prophet to those in power; and the Gospel message of love, justice, and peace to an often suffering world.
(U.S. Catholic Bishops, "A Century of Social Teaching")

Catholic Charities' Parish and Community Social Action Program provides leadership and service to the people and institutions of our diocesan church in their task of bringing the church's social mission to life. We also serve the wider community of southern Minnesota as we work to create more effective ways of serving and empowering those in need.

Our program areas are:

  • Social Concerns
  • Rural Life
  • Parish Social Ministry
  • Catholic Campaign for Human Development
  • Catholic Relief Services
  • Disaster Relief Services
  • Disability Ministry
  • Community Social Action
  • Emergency Services
  • JustFaith
  • Parish Nursing/Health Ministry

For more details on the work of the Social Action office, check out the Social Action page at the Diocese of Winona web site.
