Saint Pedro Make us worthy, Lord, to serve those people throughout the world who live and die in poverty and hunger. Give them through our hands, this day, their daily bread, and by our understanding love, give them peace and joy.

Performing the Corporal Works of Mercy

“I was hungry, and you fed me.” Jesus Christ identified Himself with the poor and hungry, and desires that His disciples serve Him in them. Our Catholic community considers the poor and needy the treasure of the Church. Catholic Social Services’ Department of Social Services meets the material needs of people, extending the love of Christ and the Church through programs in food, shelter, clothing, material and financial assistance, refugee resettlement, and special holiday projects. The Department provides these services through office sites and facilities located in Lincoln, Nebraska and Hastings, Nebraska. The Department also oversees the volunteer activities of the agency.
