Our Mission
Being an extension of the Catholic Church, local parishes, supporters and friends, bringing Christ's mercy to those in Ventura County through a wide range of human services regardless of religion, race, nationality, color or creed.
Our History
Catholic Charities of Los Angeles- Ventura County Region was established in 1926 at the San Buena Ventura Mission, nearly 100 years ago, to help combat the poverty of families affected by the Great Depression. Over the years our service programs have evolved to support the diverse and changing needs of our clients. Though one thing has remained the same, our commitment to spreading Christ's merciful love throughout the county. Today, we offer a multitude of services across the county from 5 different locations, and we continue to serve those most in need with love and compassion.

A Message from the Regional Director |
|
“God is Love.” 1 John 4:7
Catholic Charities stands for the truth that love of neighbor for God’s sake is the greatest power on earth, healing and preserving the whole universe. Through love of neighbor, expressed in prayer and action, we share in the very essence of God, the “love that made the stars,” the love that moved Our Lord Jesus Christ to become man, be born, suffer and die to save us from the everlasting death of sin. Every person is called to reach out in love to care for those who are suffering, lonely, hungry, lost, addicted, and by this means become more deeply aware of how much Christ loves us and reaches out to us in our own needs. We invite you to join with us in the work of loving all our fellow human beings in Ventura County. By volunteering, donating, and especially by loving prayer, you can co-create a more just, safe, beautiful world, starting with your own home and neighborhood. God bless you for your concern for the needy in Ventura County! |
