"Catholic Charities has been the best help that I have had here. After having so many letdowns, they have helped immensely. Now apart from seeing my daughters happy, I have a happiness that is very, very important which is my work permit, social security, and the hope that I will be able to go back and see my mother."
"If we ... are going to have influence on those individuals that are coming, it has to be by reaching out and giving a Christ-like hug and assisting them in going forward. If you look at Catholic Charities as a whole, it's fulfilling scripture, but it's also giving those of us in the pews a chance to live up to what w'ere supposed to live up to."
"So for those who help Idaho Catholic Charities, you are doing the work of God."
"One of the ways that Catholic Charities is really sharing the journey with people is the willingness to walk into the messiness of their lives ... to be able to accompany them wherever they're at ... to address their needs based on their individuality rather than saying 'unless you fit this profile' ... to give each person the dignity of treating them as individuals rather than as a number or as a case file, to get to know these people and to care for them on many levels ... the fruits that come of that, again as people sometimes that find themselves without hope but now have found a new hope with these people partnering with them, walking with them, and sharing their journey with them."
