About Catholic Social Services

Catholic Social Services of the Upper Peninsula has served as a shining example of God’s work throughout the UP since 1915. Our efforts to nurture, stabilize and strengthen families and serve the poor promote the teachings of the Catholic Church and God’s universal love. Here are a few examples of how we serve our community. Catholic Social Services of the UP helped heal over 1,250 of your neighbors, friends, and family members through our counseling services for mental health treatment and addiction recovery. Our adoption and foster care services gave over 25 children each month an opportunity to know God’s love in a safe, nurturing home with loving parents. Our re-entry facility supported numerous young men as they returned after incarceration to become productive citizens in their community. Our community outreach efforts oversaw the care and provided a loving home for 32 monthly adult residents at our affordable managed care facility
