Welcome to Catholic Charities' Online Community

William J. McCarthy, Jr., Executive Director

The launch of our completely redesigned website coincides with my arrival as executive director here at Catholic Charities of Baltimore. I can’t tell you how humbled and thrilled I am to take the helm of the Baltimore region’s leading provider of meaningful help and hope for vulnerable people.

Catholic Charities is known for its compassionate care, with a standard of excellence and efficiency second to none. I view my leadership here as a calling because my personal goal is to make meaningful differences in people’s lives every day. This is what happens at Catholic Charities.

Our family of 2,000 employees, 15,000 volunteers, and 15,000 donors stands ready to serve people of all faiths, to educate about our clients’ circumstances, and to advocate for them and for a just society. We cherish the Divine within every person.

Our work improves the circumstances and lives of hundreds of thousands of people every year. People’s needs for services continue to increase during these challenging times.

We are all blessed with our own gifts and we are called to share them. As you visit our site, you will see that you can make your mark by making a better world. I invite you to serve, to volunteer, and to donate. You will also find services in our varied programs that can assist you and those you care about.

Please take a few minutes to learn more about us. You will be uplifted by our stories of help and hope.

Peace,

William J. McCarthy, Jr.
Executive Director
