Who We Are

Catholic Charities of Louisville serves people in need, especially the poor and oppressed. As the social service ministry of the Archdiocese of Louisville we support and partner with its 110 parishes in 24 counties to meet the needs of our neighbors. Our wide array of outreaches include anti-human trafficking, urban farming, job training, and refugee resettlement. We serve anyone in need – regardless of faith tradition, race, creed, or other qualifiers.

Leadership & Staff

We benefit from the leadership of the Archbishop of Louisville, a board of directors, and our executive team. Our staff is wonderfully diverse, including practicing Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus. Catholic and other Christians, atheists, and agnostics. Our roster includes individuals born in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and South America, including a number who resettled here as refugees over the past 30 years.

Community Partners

Saint Teresa said it well. “You can do what I cannot do. I can do what you cannot do. Together we can do great things.” We are indebted to those who partner with us to do great things in our communities. Catholic parishes and protestant congregations, social and civic clubs, Catholic schools, small businesses, large corporations, and individuals all make substantial contributions to our service with their time and finances. We are grateful.

We promise to provide you clear and transparent reporting of what we do and how we do it. We’re an accredited business with the BBB, have a Gold Transparency rating with Candid (GuideStar), and belong to Charity Navigator.
