Catholic Charities: Celebrating 100 years of serving those in need

“The Bishop’s House of Charity” was the original organization, founded in 1923, to do “all those things in the field of charity which should be done but which parishes alone cannot perform,” as Bishop Daniel J. Curley wrote then. One hundred years later, those acts continue with great care and expertise by Catholic Charities (CC), which is celebrating its centennial year in the Diocese of Syracuse. Each of the eight Catholic dioceses across New York State supports a Catholic Charities office, serving millions of people statewide that are in need.
