Catholic Organizations

In our work in the world, particularly for those of us whose work is in the helping fields—whether through our work with a grassroots organization or a government agency—it is our apostolate and there are Catholic informed organizations out there that can be of great help.

One of them is the Catholic Social Workers National Association.

Here is an excerpt from their website.

“Catholic Social Workers National Association is a Professional Membership Association that was formed on the belief that professional associations should support not only your profession, but also your beliefs, values, and your faith. CSWNA has been established for social workers who are faithful to the teachings of the church and are looking for support and direction within their profession based upon church teachings. Catholic Social Workers National Association affirms and supports the teachings and beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church.

“Catholic Social Workers are called to care for the poor and the poor of spirit. They work with those who abuse, and are abused as well as who have been neglected in body, mind, or spirit. They advocate for the youngest of the young, in their mothers wombs, the elderly, the sick and the dying until Jesus calls them home. Catholic Social Workers humbly walk with their clients through life’s joys and challenges, living out Jesus’ command to love, by following his example in washing the feet of our fellow man.”
