Charitable Donations

St. Elizabeth’s Guild supports special projects and needs throughout the year for the children’s programs of Catholic Charities.

Bethlehem Housing provides rapid re-housing, intensive case management, and wrap-around services to homeless families with children in the eight civil parishes of the Archdiocese of New Orleans.  The program provides mothers with dependent children with a safe place to live so that they can get back on their feet.  Research shows that children who experience homelessness are more likely to experience chronic disease, behavioral health concerns, developmental delays, and hunger.  Bethlehem Housing works tirelessly to ensure this does not happen to the children in our care.

Padua House is a residential program for those with intellectual disabilities who are medically fragile from the ages of birth to 35. Padua House is a licensed Intermediate Care Facility and offers the following services: 24-hour nursing care and 24-hour on-call doctor, weekly doctor visits, onsite neurology, orthopedic and ophthalmology clinics, pharmaceutical services, dietary consultation, physical, occupational and speech therapy and psychological services.

Therapeutic Family Services matches children with behavioral, or developmental problems, or medically fragile children with families who provide specialized foster care. TFS trains and supports prospective foster parents who provide a temporary home for children whose parents cannot care for them. The goal is to reunite these children with their families.

Caring for the children of Catholic Charities since the 1950’s.
