Catholic Diocese Offers Guide To Area Social Services

The Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh has put a special resource guide in its diocesan newspaper, Pittsburgh Catholic. The resource guide provides information on where to go to get social services. The paper reaches 200,000 people throughout six counties in Western Pennsylvania. The counties the newspaper reaches are Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Greene, Lawrence and Washington. The Catholic Diocese isn't surprised by the amount of people who need assistance and is asking people who need help to look for it. The paper also provides a list of parish social ministers with contact information and a survey outlining the social services offered by the parishes.
