Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago (“CCAC”) was founded more than a century ago to meet human needs through the Mission of Charity. A trusted partner and steward, CCAC has grown to be one of the largest human service providers in the Chicago metropolitan region.
We accompany anyone in need, regardless of their faith, gender, race, or ethnicity. In fact, the majority of the thousands of people we serve each day are not Catholic.
The same is true for the majority of the people who work with us – they partner with us because they are drawn to our values and mission.
We commit to being present to children, youth and families, especially to mothers and their babies – it is core to who we are. We commit to being present to families in crisis and to those coping with loss – it is core to who we are.

Adela Carlin a so called attorney is unprofessional and rude. Was hired in March for an order of protection case. Worked on my case until mid June and called me three weeks after she was suppose to to tell me that she doesn’t have the resources to continue to work on my case and she was leaving the organization. When I voiced my concerns she got upset and proceeded to hang up. She doesn’t listen to you even if you have proof that something needs to be included in paperwork. She became so rude and unprofessional during a sensitive time in my life. Carlin you do not need to be in law nor representing domestic violence survivors. Do not go here for Legal Services.
