Catholic Charities Palm Beach

Every older adult deserves to live with dignity, safety, and respect. Yet too many seniors in our community face abuse, neglect, or exploitation—often in silence.

At Catholic Charities, our Elder Affairs Program stands beside vulnerable seniors—many of whom are survivors of elder abuse—providing compassionate support and critical services to help them live with dignity.

Join us in raising your voice, checking in on older loved ones, and supporting programs that protect and empower our aging population. Together, we can create a community where every senior feels safe, valued, and cared for.

Today, our Catholic Charities team is celebrating the opening of the 2026 FIFA World Cup by wearing jerseys and colors representing our favorite teams and countries from around the world!

Just as the World Cup brings nations together through a shared love of the game, our staff reflects the rich diversity of the communities we serve every day. Different backgrounds, cultures, languages, and traditions—united by a common mission: bringing hope, help, and compassion to those in need.

Today, we have fun, celebrating teamwork, unity, and the joy of coming together—on and off the field.

Staff and volunteers are back at it this morning. We began with a blessing for the staff and those we serve. We find joy in this effort! As of today the shipping container is half full. What a generous outpouring of support from people all across our diocese.

Many days of hard work, along with the generosity of people from all ends of the Diocese of Palm Beach came together today as we began the process of loading the shipping container.

The staff of Catholic Charities Diocese of Palm Beach along with a group of dedicated volunteers worked together to sort, inventory, and pack boxes of essential support.

Providing help and hope one box at a time!
