Our Focus

The Office of Social Service Ministry supports the commitment of the Diocese of Sacramento to respond to the gospel mandate to serve and to stand with the poor, the immigrant, the disabled, and anyone in need.

An extensive network of programs and ministries of charity, advocacy, community organizing and development, and global solidarity strive to make a difference in the lives of those who are vulnerable and suffering in body, mind or spirit, in our local communities and around the world.

“The Eucharist commits us to the poor.”
