faith for future generations. Let us acknowledge and thank our

grandparents for their wisdom, perspective and love.

Catholic Charities Receives National Accreditation Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Palm Beach, Inc. has achieved national

accreditation through the New York-based Council on Accreditation (COA).

Catholic Charities provides services to more than 20,500 unduplicated

clients each year through 13 programs and ministries. It took Catholic

Charities 8 months to complete the reaccreditation process. Organizations

pursue accreditation to demonstrate the implementation of best practice

standards in the field of human services.

Whether we are married, single, divorced, widowed, clergy, professed, young or

simply young at heart, we come from and belong to a family-- the Domestic Church.

We also belong to the broader family of families known as the Catholic Church.

Whether our family is perfect or flawed, intact or separated, family is the “school of

love” where we learn how to love God and others, so we can live our lives with joy!

Join us and reconsider the meaning of family and explore the deeper meaning of life;

discover the “Joy of the Family.”
