Share | Each of us has God-given dignity Catholic Charities fulfills the Church and Diocese of Arlington's mission of charity to anyone in need by providing compassionate, competent and professional services to strengthen and support individuals, families and communities based on the recognition of the value and dignity of human life. Our Mission Statement The mission of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Arlington is rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the official teachings of the Roman Catholic faith. The Gospel proclaims and the Church teaches respect for the dignity and sanctity of human life, from the moment of conception through natural death, and the duty to serve the most vulnerable of God’s people. Therefore, Catholic Charities seeks to implement the Church’s mission of social justice in the Diocese of Arlington in ways that strengthen individuals, families, and communities. Catholic Charities extends its services and resources to all in need; convenes the Catholic community to fulfill the Church’s mission of social justice; and advocates for social justice and seeks to empower others to do the same. Our Vision Statement Effective fulfillment of the mission of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Arlington requires a vision based on ways the Agency can respond effectively to the challenges of ever-changing economic, demographic, and social trends. As the designated arm of the Arlington Diocese in fulfilling the Church’s social mission, Catholic Charities serves as the diocesan resource center. It fulfills this role by facilitating the response of the Catholic community to basic human needs, regardless of religious affiliation, and by collaborating with other agencies and organizations that share our goals. We strive to: Integrate the Agency’s activities with the mission of the Diocese, collaborate effectively with diocesan offices, and serve as a resource to parishes. Provide caring, professional, and quality services, including those that require specialized training, to families, individuals, and communities with needs not being met by the local community. Extend programs and services throughout the Diocese and increase collaboration with other agencies and organizations that share our mission and goals in order to better address unmet needs while avoiding duplication of services. Develop adequate funding and other resources to support the mission and implement the vision of Catholic Charities. Approved December 5, 2000, by Bishop Paul S.
