Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Erie

Serving Families in the Diocese of Erie Since 1991

Catholic Charities is an organization that serves the needs of thousands of people throughout the 13-county diocese of Erie without regard to religion, race, or national origin. With seven agencies currently in our network, we provide meals and shelter for the homeless; counseling and case management services; emergency relief for families in need of housing, utility assistance, or food. We have soup kitchens and food pantries, serving the poorest among us. Catholic Charities relies on funds raised throughout the year to support these agencies who may not have the capacity to fundraise on their own or may operate in communities that lack strong philanthropic resources. Yearly, we provide support to more than 25,000 individuals across thirteen counties in Northwestern PA.
