Established in 1954 as the primary social service arm of the Catholic Church in the Diocese of Greensburg and rooted in the Gospel and social teaching of the church, our mission is to serve the human needs of individuals and families, regardless of their religious affiliation, and to provide leadership in building collaborative efforts with parishes and communities in addressing these needs. The organization's governance and management policies, practices, and procedures meet the highest ethical standards for nonprofits in Pennsylvania. Our mission was undertaken shortly after the diocese was established in 1951. Bishop Hugh L. Lamb invited religious sisters from Philadelphia to the new diocese to assess its human social service needs.
