Creating Hope.
Our Programs
Catholic Charities of Southeast Texas offers six programs in service and support of those in need. Keeping with our mission, “People of faith responding to needs by serving, teaching, building community, and preserving the dignity of individuals and families in Southeast Texas,” our organization offers services primarily to low-to-moderate income residents of Chambers, Hardin, Jasper, Jefferson, Liberty, Newton, Orange, Polk, and Tyler Counties. Catholic Charities of Southeast Texas makes its services available to all without regard to race, religion, age, gender, or national origin. We serve people not because they are Catholic but because we are Catholic.
