Since our founding in 1917, Catholic Charities has been a beacon of light and hope for the most vulnerable in our communities. Travel back to the founding of the agency, when a group of prominent businessmen were called together by Archbishop Mundelein to coordinate charitable care in the archdiocese. You’ll journey through the decades with beautiful photos, interviews and historical accounts of the agency’s growth and transformations to the present day, including highlights of the agency’s 100th Anniversary celebrations. You will treasure this beautiful hard cover coffee table style book and feel inspired by the work of the region’s largest social service agency.
