Join us in celebrating 125 years of non-stop compassion

Since 1899, Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens has moved to the beat of the city, supporting families, feeding the hungry, and providing services for the mentally ill. Together we’ve helped millions of our neighbors in Brooklyn and Queens.

It all started when a group of concerned Catholics came together to help children orphaned by poverty and disease. Over time, their efforts expanded to include food, clothing, education, and housing.
