An innovative collaboration of two decades-old community nonprofits, Catherine McAuley Center and Friends of the Poor, our agency was born in 2025 with the goal of honoring the dream of our foundresses, Sister Anne Paye, RSM and Sister Adrian Barrett, IHM. These two remarkable women began their respective agencies with nothing more than an open heart, helping hand, and a Higher call to serve those most in need. Together, we now serve more than 25,000 unique individuals in the Lackawanna and Luzerne County areas.
