Who We Are

Our Vision

Honor Human Dignity

Our Mission

To put faith in action to improve the lives of those in need

Our Service

Catholic Charities is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation serving central New Mexico and is a member of Catholic Charities USA, one of the largest non-profit human services networks in the United States. We are dedicated to finding solutions to some of the most pressing social challenges individuals, children and families face, regardless of race, religion, country of origin, disabilities, gender, age or sexual orientation. 

Annually, we serve nearly 17,500 individuals families throughout Bernalillo, Sandoval, Valencia, and Santa Fe counties with a broad spectrum of services geared towards reducing poverty, improving personal opportunity, and encouraging opportunities for service. With about 85 staff members and over 200 volunteers, our agency has been working to create hope for those in need for over 70 years. Although grounded in Catholic Social Teachings and inspired by faith, Catholic Charities provides services to those in need regardless of faith.


Our services are encompassed in our six centers of excellence:
Children's Learning Center,
Center for Educational Opportunity,
Center for Self-Sufficiency and Housing Assistance,
Center for Immigration and Citizenship Legal Assistance,
Center for Refugee Support, and
Center for Community Involvement.

Check out our center pages or watch our videos to learn more about what each center does to serve the most vulnerable in our community.
