Northern Valley Catholic Social Service strives to reach out in care and in love to the poor, to the lonely and to the needy in our community regardless of race, sex, age, creed, or national origin.

In selecting programs, we are guided by these principles:

1. A commitment and advocacy to social justice and caring in our relationships.

2. The value and dignity of human life at all stages of development from conception to death.

3. The central importance of the family and the sacredness of marriage.

4. A special emphasis on the poor, the aged and the distressed.

5. A belief that programs benefit people only when they contribute to the individual's freedom and independence.
