About Us

Catholic Family Services, a not for profit organization, was originally established in 1955 by the St. Vincent de Paul Society with the goal of strengthening families.

As a community leader, Catholic Family Services continues this vision by providing quality programs and services to children, families, and individuals throughout the greater St. Louis area.

Our Mission

Jesus Christ teaches us to respect and value the dignity of each person. In keeping with His teachings, the mission of Catholic Family Services is to improve the quality of life and well-being of individuals and families in our community.

This mission is composed of two distinct services. We provide comprehensive professional mental health counseling, psychiatric care, fatherhood, and advocacy for those who seek our services. Our other distinct service provides interpretation and translation for immigrants and refugees facing language and cultural barriers when seeking medical care, legal assistance, and social support.

Our Values

• Leadership - We lead with courage, discipline, and vision.
• Quality - We achieve excellence through innovation, learning, and agility.
• Hope - We offer hope and compassion to everyone we serve.
• Integrity - We build trust by serving our clients ethically and using our resources responsibly.
