Local Missions

Catholic Social Services, in the Archdiocese of Mobile, is an organized expression of the Church’s concern for social justice and well-being. As such, all activity is to mirror the loving care and concern of Christ for those in need. We evidence this first as professional providers of both direct and indirect services. At the same time, we are called upon to act as effective advocates, leaders, prophets and consciousness-raisers. 251-947-2293
