The mission of Catholic Charities of Southern Colorado, an organization with a long tradition of strengthening families and individuals, is to empower people to live whole and healthy lives to reach their fullest potential by providing them with pathways to build skills, knowledge, and opportunities.
On April 6, 1944, Catholic Social Services (CSS) was established with a focus on placing children for adoption. The agency also had some limited family counseling services. Following the end of World War II, assistance to returning veterans became a priority.
As the decades progressed, CSS added more programs, including marriage and personal counseling, assistance for unmarried parents, and money management services.
In 2000, the agency changed its name to Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Pueblo, Inc. (CCDP) to reflect that the organization was part of the larger Catholic Charities USA network of independent Catholic social service organizations.
Over the last twenty years, the agency has continued to grow and develop new programs to best meet the needs of the community.
In 2021, Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Pueblo underwent a name and logo change to better represent the community of people that the agency serves - southern Colorado. As Catholic Charities of Southern Colorado we continue to support individuals and families in the community.
For 80 years we have been responding to the ever-changing needs of the communities we serve. Your generous gift enables us to continue to be responsive and innovative in our programming and to provide the highest quality of assistance and support that we can.
