Bob Brinker has been truly caring, helpful and kind for many years. I can't express how much he has helped.

I have had family issues all my life. This has caused me to develop severe anxiety and PTSD. Apart from medication, I don't know how I could have coped without Catholic Charities. I've had three different counselors, and they were all good.The first two moved to a different C.C establishment. But the one I have now is the very best. It's been seven years and it's like she is a wise and comforting big sister. We do counseling face to face, and during Covid, via telephone, once a week. I can also email her anytime between sessions if I have a problem. Bless you, Catholic Charities!

Due to the pandemic I found myself in a financial bind and the Catholic Charities of Greensburg so graciously came to my rescue. They went above and beyond and I could never be more grateful! Amy Jones is an asset to the organization. Thank you so much for your graciousness.

Catholic Charities is a blessing. I was turned down for help. But weeks later I got the help that I needed. God has really blessed Catholic Charities. I thank HIM for using them for HIS purpose. Thank you Catholic Charities for being the blessing that God uses you for.
