Since 1973, Catholic Charities of Acadiana has provided essential services to those who are experiencing hunger, homelessness, poverty, and situational crisis. At Catholic Charities of Acadiana, we believe in responding to urgent needs not with hesitation, but with mercy — one person, one family at a time. That’s why we established The St. Teresa of Calcutta Fund: to serve individuals and families experiencing exceptional hardship, with no safety net and no time to wait. Inspired by the life and legacy of St. Teresa, this fund is rooted in dignity, compassion, and action. And with your help, it can be a constant source of hope.
