Catholic Charities of Southern Minnesota

Catholic Charities of Southern Minnesota serves the poor and marginalized, advocates for social justice, and calls all people to the ministry of Christ.

We operate emergency homeless shelters in both Winona and Rochester, serving adults who are experiencing homelessness.

We also offer parenting education, pregnancy counseling, baby items, mother & child assistance funds and a diaper bank for children and families.

Additionally, we continue to walk alongside our refugee neighbors as they respond to continually changing challenges. We currently offer transportation, employment services, community workshops and personalized resource connection.

Our many and varied programs depend heavily on dedicated and compassionate volunteers who share our commitment to serving and supporting all of God's children.
