At Catholic Family and Justice Support Services we believe people are made for connection to God, to one another, to community, and to creation.
Through relationship support, education, advocacy and care for creation initiatives, we help individuals, families and communities build stronger relationships, deeper belonging and a more hopeful future.
Grounded in Catholic Social Teaching and inspired by Jesus’ teaching that we are connected like branches to the vine, our mission is to help people rediscover these connections and live them authentically.
Jesus taught us that human flourishing begins through connection to God, to one another and to creation.
Catholic Social Teaching reminds us that every person has inherent dignity and deserves to feel welcomed, supported and able to participate fully in community life.
Today, growing research also continues to show that strong relationships, supportive communities and connection to the natural world are essential to wellbeing, resilience and hope.
At CFJSS, this shared vision shapes everything we do.
Every human person is planned and willed by God to enter into communion with Him, with others and with creation.
Pope Leo XIV — Magnifica Humanitas, Introduction, Paragraph 50
No one can face life in isolation. We need a community that supports and helps us, in which we can help one another to keep looking ahead.
Pope Francis — Fratelli Tutti, Paragraph 8
Together, we can all play a part in building a more just, compassionate and hopeful world.
