Catholic Charities of Central and Northern Missouri

Verified by uberall

Catholic Charities of Central and Northern Missouri is the social services outreach arm of the Diocese of Jefferson City. We are tasked with assisting our bishop, Bishop W. Shawn McKnight, with ensuring the Catholic Church in Central and Northern Missouri is fulfilling her mission to reach out to those on the margins and follow through with our biblical call to serve those in need. We believe in assisting the most basic and immediate needs of the poor and vulnerable and by giving them the help and resources needed for long-term change. We choose to focus on those areas of greatest need and avoid duplication of services wherever possible, providing counseling, health and nutrition services, and financial wellness. We also belong to the nation's largest private social services network through our affiliation with Catholic Charities USA.
