SALEM DISTRICT OFFICE

At the Salem district office, services are offered in the form of individual and marriage counseling, comprehensive information about and referrals to resources in the area, and Parish and Community Outreach which engages Catholic Charities staff with parish and/or community groups to examine pressing social needs (poverty, aging, disability, hunger, etc.) and to develop volunteer driven responses rooted in gospel values. Staff is always available to meet with parish and community representatives who are concerned with specific local needs. Education programs and workshops are available by request, support groups are also arranged based on need, and Protecting God's Children classes are offered (a prerequisite for anyone in the diocese interested in working with youth).
