Families First gives parents the support they need to build a brighter, more secure future for themselves and their children.

Every person is created in the image of God, worthy of dignity, mercy, and the chance to begin again.

Joseph Homes offers safe, stable transitional housing and compassionate support for formerly incarcerated men. For many of our residents, this is their first safe, stable place to call home in years — and they deserve a space that reflects dignity, safety, and care.

Joseph Homes is one of the transitional housing programs CCDBR provides for those most in need. You can help! Join us today and donate through iGiveCatholic to help restore hope for those re-entering society: https://www.igivecatholic.org/organization/catholic-charities-of-the-diocese-of-baton-rouge-inc

"There was no room for them in the inn"
This Advent, we remember the holy moment when Mary, who was young, expectant, and vulnerable, was welcomed by compassionate innkeepers who gave her a safe place to bring our Savior into the world.

At Sanctuary for Life, Catholic Charities continues that same spirit of welcome. We provide safe, stable housing for pregnant women experiencing homelessness. Women who are courageously choosing life for their unborn babies.

Your generosity through helps us open the door for mothers who have nowhere else to turn. With your support, they receive a secure home, compassionate guidance, and the dignity every child of God deserves.
