Worst organization I have ever witnessed. Zero dollars are spent from Catholic Charities on the public. Money comes from state grants. Donated money is spent on attorney's for priest violations and setteled lawsuits.

On the 55 year with multiple sclerosis, I'm recovered from cancer surgery last year. My electricity was turned off a few months ago because I could not afford to pay the entire bill each month. It was very hot at the time. They went above and beyond my expectations. They had my electricity turned back on within 24 hours. I will be so grateful for there help forever. The caseworker that helped me she was wonderful. And the lady at the front desk was wonderful. God bless them! Thx sooo much ladies,, Suzanne
