Join Us in Our 94 th Year of Ministry
Rooted in Catholic Social Teaching and
the Gospel imperative, Catholic
Community Services and Catholic
Housing Services are outreaches of the
Catholic Church in Western Washington,
under the leadership of the Archbishop
of Seattle and the Boards of Trustees.
CCS and CHS answer the Gospel call
to loving and compassionate service
with particular concern for the sanctity
of human life from conception to natural
death and the dignity of the human person.
Our employees and volunteers come from
many faith traditions to serve and support
poor and vulnerable people through the
provision of quality, integrated services
and housing. Our focus is on those
individuals, children, families and
communities struggling with poverty and
the effects of intolerance and racism. We
actively join with others to work for justice.
For nearly a century people have entrusted Catholic Community
Services and Catholic Housing Services to help children, families,
individuals, elderly and people with disabilities in need
throughout Western Washington. How can you help?
