Providing Hope, Changing Lives, Serving All…

Catholic Charities of the Diocese of La Crosse proclaims Christ’s Gospel of Life and promotes human dignity by alleviating poverty and strengthening individuals and families. We work with individuals, families and communities to help them meet their needs, address their issues, eliminate oppression, and build a just and compassionate society.

What's New...

Advent Annual Appeal

In a world that seems to be marked by division, conflict, and indifference, PEACE often feels distant. Yet, at Catholic Charities we experience the goodness and generosity of people every day, and we strive to bring peace and hope to our neighbors across the 19 counties we serve. This Advent and Christmas Season, will you help us continue to BRING PEACE to our community?

Can You Help Others This Christmas Season?

Every year hundreds of individuals and families in need across the Wisconsin diocese request help at Christmas time and to fulfill these requests, we need your help! Please contact us and we will match your donation with a child or family needing help this year. Thank you!

Homeless for the Holidays

Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s...for many of us these are joyous times spent with family and friends. But for some in our community, the holidays bring uncertainty. At our Sojourner House, La Crosse Warming Center, and the Good Shepherd Shelter, hundreds of people will spend this holiday season with us seeking warmth, safety, and hope.

Take a "Leap of Faith"

We are kicking off a year of special fundraising to help raise 300K to fill the gap of our Sojourner House expansion!
