The mission of Catholic Charities is to assist the parishes, communities, and Diocese of Raleigh in accomplishing the social mission of the Church.  In its roles of servant, advocate, facilitator, and convener,  Catholic Charities acts in the parish and community-at-large to heighten awareness of issues and, when appropriate, provides services to fulfill unmet needs.  The agency serves people in need through advocating for social and economic justice, as well as addressing immediate needs with emergency resources or direct services.
