#ElectionDay is almost upon us, with many decisions that have moral importance. Catholic Charities of Oregon wants to offer voters an insightful non-partisan resource. “Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship” comes from the U.S. Catholic bishops but can be helpful for anyone who wants to take the bigger moral picture into account when voting: https://hubs.la/Q02W4fLx0

We are proud to serve all God’s Children as the Official Domestic Relief Agency of the Catholic Church in Oregon. Our mission is to assure that essential, life-saving services and supports are accessible to the most vulnerable Oregonians. The services we provide across the state of Oregon include affordable and supportive housing, financial empowerment, mental health & counseling, pregnancy and parenting support, legal services, intensive case management and more. We are a member of Catholic Charities USA and of Caritas International, the global network of agencies that make up the charitable arm of the world-wide Catholic Church. Mission Statement Inspired by the transformative power of God’s love, Catholic Charities of Oregon — the social service arm of the Catholic Church in western Oregon — partners with the most vulnerable, regardless of faith, to achieve lasting solutions to poverty and injustice.

Remembering Al Corrado – A Pillar of Catholic Philanthropy Dear Friends and Supporters of Catholic Charities, It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the passing of Al Corrado, a true giant in Oregon Catholic philanthropy. Al passed away at the age of 91. Al’s philosophy was simple yet profound: giving back to one’s community. He firmly believed that giving was the way to have a real influence and make a difference in the world. Guided by Catholic teaching, which he credited as the core of his family’s strength, Al often said, “If you’ve got more, more is expected of you.”
