“Spotlight of the Week Catholic Charities” The Diocesan Catholic Charities Office serves the needs of disadvantaged individuals and families in Western Mass. The social work staff meets with people in need of housing assistance, furniture, utility assistance, food vouchers, counseling, recommendations for childcare, and employment opportunities. The staff does a comprehensive intake form and interview before any funds are verified or distributed. Catholic Charities is a resource for many parishes to refer people to when the needs of individuals or families exceeds what any one Parish can do. Your support of the ACA allows this Ministry to assist those most in need in our communities. Thank you for your support of the ACA!
