Case Managers work with families and individuals experiencing crises to identify needs and goals, then help develop a plan to achieve those goals.
Catholic Charities and Manna Resource Center operate the north and south offices of FCDC. We strive to connect families to community resources.
Engage in meaningful conversations with other people in parenting roles about what matters most: Your Family!
We are a community resource for meeting emergency needs through tangible support such as rent, essential baby needs, and a food pantry.
We are a partner and a referring agency for DC Cares, a multi-agency collaborative providing opportunities to vulnerable residents in Douglas County.
Through partnerships with the Catholic churches and other agencies in the community, we conduct several outreach programs throughout the year.
Help local families overcome obstacles and find hope. It’s not just about weathering the storm; its about charting a course for success!
For families or individuals experiencing an acute crisis, receiving emergency services or temporary shelter is a necessary first step. But in order to face life’s ongoing challenges, a case management plan for building resiliency is needed.
Catholic Charities has professional case managers who will work with you to identify the goals that are important to you and your family and help you work on a plan to achieve those goals. You’ll find the staff to be caring, compassionate, and non-judgmental as you set your own goals and work toward them.
In addition to case management services, referral services include:
- Individual and Family Counseling
- Employment Resources
- English as a Second Language Classes

Two Single Fathers Find Stability For Their Families
Through a series of circumstances, both Michael and Micheal suddenly became single fathers. Both struggled to find stability for their families, and both began their journey with Catholic Charities of Central Colorado. Today, the families are stable, but still struggle with steady employment and paying all of their bills. One of the biggest challenges has been affordable childcare and housing along with a lack of a support system.
Michael sought help from our Castle Rock office. He said, “I could live in a cardboard box, but I needed stability for my kids.” Today, he has a job and a stable home for his family.
Catholic Charities provided the things I needed when I needed them, and that is what made the difference.
It’s my children that keep me going; they are my motivation to move forward and succeed.
Catholic Charities was the first place that gave us a chance to stop reacting to what was happening and start acting.
