Catholic Social Services is the social outreach agency of the Archdiocese of Wellington. We are guided by the principles of Catholic Social Teaching in our work.
Our work includes social work, short term interventions, prison chaplaincy, hospital chaplaincy, support for refugee resettlement, community advocacy, support for people going through loss and change through the Seasons for Growth programme and Game On!, our Dads’ parenting programme.
All are welcome and our services are available to people of all backgrounds and beliefs.
