Catholic Charities was formed over a century ago to help those who are the most in need! 

Every month, on the second weekend, St. Patrick's Parish takes up a second collection in support of Catholic Charities of Merced. These collections go directly to our local Catholic Charities office in support of Merced County. They utilize these fund to assist our community members with various essential living costs.
