For 80 years, Catholic Charities of Southern Colorado has walked alongside individuals and families, helping them build stronger, healthier, and more hopeful lives. Through programs that stabilize, strengthen, and create pathways to opportunity, we empower our neighbors to reach their fullest potential.
This year, we proudly introduce our 2025–2026 theme and logo: Rooted in Service, Growing in Hope.
Rooted in Service reflects the deep foundation that grounds our mission. From supporting families through crisis, to welcoming immigrants, to assisting those experiencing homelessness or poverty, our work is built on compassion, dignity, and a commitment that has stood the test of time. Our roots run deep because of those who came before us—and because of the community that stands with us today.
Growing in Hope represents the promise of renewal and the future we build together. Hope is not just an idea—it is something we witness every day: keys placed into the hands of someone newly housed, a child’s first day at school, a parent finding stability, or a newcomer finding safety and belonging. Hope grows in the people we serve, and it grows in us as we continue to evolve and strengthen our impact.
Your generosity ensures that we can remain firmly rooted in service while helping hope flourish in every life we touch. Together, we honor our legacy, strengthen our community, and continue building a future filled with dignity, opportunity, and love.
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 over 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.
