Who we Are
Catholic Charities
is a place of Help
and Hope.
Providing Help. Creating Hope.
Serving Colorado Springs, Castle Rock, El Paso and Douglas counties, and surrounding Central Colorado communities.
Helping Our Neighbors in Need.
At Catholic Charities, helping our neighbors is who we are. As the charitable arm of the Diocese of Colorado Springs and a trusted human services agency, we support individuals and families facing crisis, hardship, and uncertainty—offering hope, stability, and compassionate care.
Many of our neighbors struggle with affordable housing, financial hardship, parenting challenges, or limited support systems. When they come to us, they are often overwhelmed and afraid. But they are never alone.
Compassionate Support. Real Solutions.
Our staff and volunteers listen with compassion and help connect people to meaningful solutions, community resources, and programs rooted in Catholic Social Teaching and the dignity of every human life.
We serve anyone in need, regardless of faith, race, gender, age, disability, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, or background—because every person matters.
Hope Begins With You.
Every act of compassion can transform a life. Thank you for being part of that hope.
We believe relationships empower and transform lives – that people who are experiencing poverty and injustice should be “seen” and served.

Matthew
25:35-36, 40
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.
And the king will say to them in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’”
