Johns, Putnam, and Flagler counties with Homeless Prevention Rapid Re-housing, Emergency Financial and Food Program, Senior Services and Weekend Hunger Backpack Program. Augustine since 1944. The area was originally served by staff from the Jacksonville Regional office. The first office in St. Augustine was opened in December of 1975 by Fr. O'Flaherty. The office was housed at San Sebastian Cathol
ic Church. Today, the Catholic Charities network has four regional offices located in Gainesville, Jacksonville, Lake City and St. Augustine. Although the services may vary from site to site, the goal of our programs in each office and satellite location is to respond to the unique needs in the communities we serve. It is our Catholic identity and Catholic Social Teaching that calls upon us to see Jesus in the face of the poor. Catholic Charities could not be responsive to our communities without the work of our staff, volunteers and board of directors, and the support we receive from the diocese, our donors and funders. Together, we are living our responsibility to love our neighbor as we love ourselves (Mark 12:31). "Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received, but only what you have given, a full heart, enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage." ---St. Francis Assisi
Thank you for your support to our agency and to the individuals and families we serve. This enables us to spread the word of God's love and compassion for our fellow man throughout the 17 counties of the Diocese of St. May God bless you and those you love.
