Catholic Charities
Central Mississippi
Resource Directory
Since we can not list all organizations; please understand that the purpose of this directory is to
serve as a reference for commonly needed services. Being listed in this directory is not an
endorsement of Catholic Charities; nor does Catholic Charities make any presumptions as to the
quality of treatment provided by the resources listed.
Updating the Catholic Charities Resource Directory is an on-going task. The resources listed are
current as of June 2006. Since resources are subject to change without notice; it is recommended
that notes are taken in the margins next to a resource as changes are made.
If you would like for your organization to be considered for inclusion, or know of an organization
that you think would be useful for us to list; please email the Office of Parish Health at:
stacey.johnson@catholiccharitiesjackson.org with the current name, telephone number, fax number,
address (physical and mailing), and a brief blurb about services provided.
The mission of Catholic Charities is to be a visible sign of Christ’s love by helping those who are
unable to help themselves; the poor and vulnerable, especially children, women, and families.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Saint Francis of Assisi
