    The Office of Catholic Social Services works with Catholic social service agencies and parish ministries within the Diocese of Trenton to answer Jesus’ call to serve those in need, to advocate for justice and promote peace, recognizing the rights of all those who are vulnerable or marginalized in any way.  

     We serve as liaison to approved Catholic organizations who offer a broad array of services and programs, and in this way, are a resource for our parishes as they respond to the needs of those in their unique communities of faith, as well as the wider community.

     Our Catholic social service agencies and parish offices or ministries also provide people with information about other community resources for assistance when such assistance is not available through our Catholic social service network.  Additionally, they collaborate with non-Catholic social service agencies and programs as well as government agencies to better meet the needs of the whole community. 

“Faith requires Action”
on behalf of the poor and marginalized, and is the core of Catholic Social Teaching. For those looking to expand their involvement in the Church, there are many opportunities for prayer and volunteer work within your parish and within the Catholic social services programs.

    Contact any organization
listed above for volunteer opportunities or contact the Office of Catholic Social Services.
