Good afternoon, I cannot give my opinion of the place, but I have a family member who received political asylum and I go to them to support him with the benefits that are granted for his case and unfortunately everything has been very cumbersome, he calls them by phone and They do not answer, he is stuck in a quagmire and sees no solution to his case.

I am so grateful to Catholic Charities. Patricia went out of her way to help my children and I she has such a huge heart as well as many others who work here. Alma is also a true Joy and blessing to talk to and put me in touch with someone else who would be able to help me further. They let me know about their food pantry and continue to give me ways to apply for further assistance even if they themselves can't offer it. This year is genuinely been hard on so many of us and they truly are going above and beyond at Catholic Charities to do all that they can. it's so nice that even if they can't help me with exactly what I need then they still will go above and beyond to assist you in the ways that they can. My children and I are truly grateful and blessed for the kindness generosity and absolute love and compassion that you showed our family. Thank you Catholic Charities for all that you do. God Is good, All the time!!

This organization helped me twice without problem and once for my mother. It took a lot of work for my mom to get us an appointment, but first I went without an appointment, then I had to send email and call and call until they answered me. They have a lot more work than before. It was worth it. John Paul is very friendly and professional just like Natasha. They are a blessing. Thank you for all your help!

I volunteered for Christmas charities. The regular staff were very nice. The visitors were gracious. Hope to do it again next year.
My only dislike was the lack of parking. I had to park 3 blocks away. Neighborhood was a little scary.

I have been calling Catholic Charities since I was diagnosed with Cancer over 4 months ago, I left a few messages no return phone call from them, I also called because I needed assistance after the Hurricane here in Houston and once again no phone calls from them.

I have continuously called and left messages and asked them to please help, because of my chemo and medications I am no longer allowed to work or drive.

Till this day I have not received a call from them, at least I would ve appreciated a call just to let me know they can t assist for whatever reasons.

I ve heard wonderful things from my Dr s, Social Worker, other Organizations and individuals about Catholic Charities. I told them what had happened and sadly they regretted even having mentioned them to me.

I have placed photos of the Apartment and one of the Tumors I have that is visual and incase anyone wonders I have total of 6.

Many Blessings to All

RIDICULOUS . I have been trying to set up an appointment to attend one of the immigration charlas for 3 months! This is a requirement before talking to any of their lawyers. Their website states you must register before attending yet every time I call they tell me that I was suppose to call the first Monday of every month or NO ONE ANSWERS. Call any other Monday and they will tell you that you miss the deadline, you either needed to call the Monday before or the Monday after- and when you do they tell you to call back the first Monday...

I am Cuban and I am infinitely grateful to come to this country as a single mother and receive all the support of Catholic Charities that I needed to start a new life and a difficult path to travel. God has worked miracles with me and for me this is one of them. Thank you infinitely for all your support. God multiply everything so that you can continue to support mothers like me. I especially want to thank the social worker Esther Argueta who has become familiar with my case and has taken care of me.

They sent me one email stating I was selected for assistance..then I went down to the office to see the update and the lady said they closed your case because someone tried to contact me and didn't reach me..No one called or text..trust me I was waiting.. You would think they would have sent me a follow up email..and no one would call me back to clarify this issue..

They tried there best to help but not really now that I think of it. They kind of mocked the entire reason why I was there. Very hard to get in touch with and do not give out the right information. I suggest you ask for other people's opinions , and go in person and set up a appointment to get any kind of answers. Good luck with phone calls.

Blessings and Love! Mario Erika Rdgz.

Very poor communication, lack of professionalism (especially when it comes to paper work lack of knowledge), rude, it takes a long time to get an answer from email, they need a good phone number without machine talking. this place is good for nothing!

Worst place ever..called a dozen times.. They NEVER ever return calls. They are evil that they dont respond to people in desperate need. Dont bother calling for anything. Youll be dead before you get a response.

I called them several times and kept being transferred to an answering machine that had no more room for messages. When I called a third time I was transferred to another answering machine that said they would return on a date which was three weeks earlier. It said to leave a message and my call would be returned. I left a message but never received a call back.

The people who attended me did it in a pedantic selfless way they did not let me speak or explain my case they told me that they did not attend adults with migration cuts. Hopefully God takes care of them were 2 women who answered me and in the worst way I think they should not work in charitable places because they do not have the kindness or ability to help those who need it.

I only got to public service and they treated me badly, you have to take a course on how to treat people, as you can see when people are not going through needs, who do not put themselves in the shoes of those most in need, they tell you to one "You can't talk to a social worker because you have to owe 2 months of rent or the light should owe a lot. It's that simple and simple. I went there out of necessity, not to spend gas, time or walk. It's not fair that.........

I understand what they do is "charity" work, but that doesn't give them the right to be rude and disrespectful to the people that go to them for help. I talk to this lady on the phone about immigration appointments, and got yelled at to "listen right!" for asking her to repeat the very vague information she gave me. If they really want to help people, start by treating them right.
