Catholic Charities is committed to working with parishes to
support their ministries to the poor and vulnerable
encourage community engagement
and educate parishioners about the rich tradition of Catholic social teaching
We do this by convening parish social ministers on a regular basis, communicating events and information to parish leadership, and providing training and educational programs on public policy matters, Catholic social teaching, and Parish Social Ministry.
Within the service area of Catholic Charities of the Finger Lakes Ruth Putnam Marchetti acts as the Justice and Peace Coordinator.
