Happy Senior Citizens Day!

Today, we’re celebrating the older adults who have shaped our families, strengthened our communities, and shared a lifetime of wisdom and experience.

At Catholic Charities, we’re proud to support seniors at every stage of life through our Older Adult Services, including adult day programs, case management, home-delivered meals, and more.

This Senior Citizens Day, we honor the incredible individuals who continue to enrich our communities every day. Thank you for all that you do!

At Catholic Charities’ Early Learning Programs, we believe in supporting the whole family.

When Tai first enrolled her daughters in the program, car troubles made it difficult for her to get her children to school. Our staff continued to check in with her and were even able to provide bus passes for Tai and her family to help ease the transportation challenges.

“It's not just a daycare where you drop off your kids, they take that extra step to support you.”

That extra support is at the heart of what we do.

Our Early Learning Programs work closely with families to help children build the skills they need to be ready for kindergarten. Teachers set goals and objectives for each child and regularly meet with parents to discuss their child’s progress.

Because early childhood education provides the foundation for lifelong learning, Catholic Charities Early Learning & Head Start offers a high-quality, comprehensive approach that supports both children and families.

“It's a blessing in the community.”

For Jose, enrolling his two sons in Catholic Charities’ Early Learning Programs was the beginning of something that would benefit his entire family.

After a recommendation from someone he knew, Jose enrolled his sons in the program. Since then, his children have been able to build a strong foundation for learning before kindergarten, while Jose has found a community and new opportunities to get involved.

“It's a village... You know your kids are well taken care of. They're safe, and they're learning,”

Through the Male Advocate group, Jose has contributed to fatherhood events, helped start conversations about mental health, brainstormed new activities for children and more.

His involvement has even taken him to a conference in Washington, D.C., where he was honored with the Favorite Father Award!

Jose’s story is a reminder of the impact that happens when families, parents and communities come together.

Stacy’s diagnosis is only one part of her story.

After being diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, Stacy felt depressed, isolated, and defined by her diagnosis. She had participated in other support groups and organizations, but often felt like people saw her for what was “wrong” with her rather than who she was.

That changed when she found Pathways Peer Support.

“The focus is on the individual and not what’s wrong with me, but what has happened [and] why do I act like that.”

Through Pathways, Stacy rediscovered her self-worth and confidence—and today, she’s using her experiences to help others. She volunteers with multiple organizations, serves on the board of Appleseed Community Mental Health Center, and has even led support groups for people walking a similar path.

Her diagnosis doesn’t define her. Her resilience does.

Pathways Peer Support offers recovery-focused groups and programming designed to build positive relationships, develop coping skills, and remind people that they are more than their diagnosis.

If you or someone you know could benefit from Pathways Peer Support, visit ccdocle.org/Pathways or call (419) 496-0140.

At 38 years old, Stacy began a journey that would change the way she saw herself—and her future.

After leaving an abusive marriage, Stacy began opening up about the trauma she had experienced as a child. Sharing her story with her aunt was a turning point and the first step toward understanding her mental health.

After being diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, Stacy connected with several groups and organizations. But too often, she felt like her diagnosis was the only thing people saw in her.

That changed when a friend introduced her to the Pathways Peer Support Program in Ashland County.

At Pathways, Stacy began discovering who she was beyond her diagnosis—and recognizing the strengths and gifts she had to offer.

“Prior to Pathways I was depressed. I thought I was this crazy mental illness person. I felt like I had nothing to give. I felt stifled... It's a well kept secret in Ashland that needs to be exposed to everybody.”

Stacy’s story is a reminder that a diagnosis does not define a person. With the right support, hope and connection, people can rediscover their identity and see what’s possible.

Come back tomorrow to hear more about how Pathways Peer Support has made a difference in Stacy’s life.

What an amazing way to wrap up another unforgettable summer at Fatima Family Center - Catholic Charities Summer Camp Program!

Family and friends gathered at Our Lady of Fatima Parish this past Friday to celebrate all that our campers learned and experienced throughout the summer.

From dancing and playing instruments to learning the basics of golf and discovering the importance of staying active, our campers had a summer filled with fun, growth, and new experiences!

For eight weeks, children ages 6–12 had the opportunity to make new friends, connect with positive role models and step outside their comfort zones while trying something new.

We’re so proud of everything our campers accomplished this summer!

From roller skating and adventure parks to enjoying the sunshine with friends at Forest Hill Park, campers spent the summer trying new things, making memories, and building friendships.

For eight weeks, youth ages 5–17 had the opportunity to connect with positive role models, meet new friends, and experience exciting adventures both near and far.

We’re so grateful for another incredible summer filled with fun, friendship, and new experiences!
