Parish Social Ministries
Faith in action — serving neighbors through parish communities across southern Wisconsin
Our Programs
Parish Social Ministries equips congregations to live out their faith by serving their neighbors. Through parish-rooted teams, Catholic Charities of Madison supports programs that visit isolated older adults, bring nutritious food to rural communities, and walk alongside mothers and families during pregnancy and beyond. These ministries are carried out by volunteers trained and supported by Catholic Charities — putting faith into action one community at a time.
Care Team Ministry
Catholic Charities trains and supports congregation-based volunteer teams who make regular social visits to older adults who may be isolated in their homes or care facilities.
Mobile Food Pantries
Catholic Charities partners with Second Harvest and local parishes to provide individuals and families in rural areas access to nutritional food.
Walking With Moms
Walking With Moms is a parish-based program that walks alongside women during pregnancy and beyond, connecting them with the care, resources, and community support they need.
“Great occasions for serving God come seldom, but little ones surround us daily.” – St. Francis de Sales
