Catholic Social Services sponsors five senior centers in Philadelphia which offer a range of activities, parties, trips, classes and daily lunch to support community elders in 'vital aging.' "The people whom we serve and celebrate with these special programs enjoy the possibilities of life in the 21st Century," said Paula Harvey, Program Coordinator of the Archdiocesan Senior Citizen Council.  The council is the governing board for a network of independent senior clubs in the five-county area.
Catholic Social Services exists to transform lives and bring about a just and compassionate society where every individual is valued, families are healthy and strong, and communities are united in their commitment to the good of all.
