Mission
Mission Statement
The mission of Catholic Charities is to reflect the teachings of Christ through advocacy, service to people, and by convening people around social issues to develop just responses. We do this to demonstrate Christ’s compassion and respect for the dignity of everyone, and to challenge all to live their vocations by being models of service.
Statement of Purpose
Catholic Charities of Onondaga County is a faith-based organization serving the members of our community who are most vulnerable and in greatest need. Through our diverse programs, we assist over 26,000 individuals a year ranging in age from infants to senior citizens. At the core of our work is the belief that all people have infinite value and are worthy of dignity, respect, and compassion. We are committed to superior service, tenaciously addressing unmet needs and being instruments of change.
