Did you know that one out of every 10 residents of the Diocese receive at least one service each year from Catholic Charities? The Bishop’s 5K Run/Walk brings attention and resources to assist Catholic Charities in its continuing efforts to reach out to underserved areas of the Diocese. This event is a great way to participate in the mission of Catholic Charities – providing caring service to the most vulnerable in our community.
In 2020, Catholic Charities assisted more than 30,700 people in Delaware and Maryland’s Eastern Shore with a variety of essential services including food, clothing, energy assistance, residential and behavioral health programs. Catholic Charities also runs the Bayard House, the only licensed residential program in Delaware providing food, shelter, and direct care to at-risk, homeless, pregnant, and newly parenting teens and young women. The needs of those served by Catholic Charities have risen exponentially with the ongoing pandemic.

2021 Annual Tribute Dinner
Diocese of Wilmington Catholic Charities Honor
Bishop Malooly and Michael J. Hare
|
|
After a COVID-induced break of nearly 18 months, Catholic Charities in the Diocese of Wilmington finally was able to gather a crowd together at the Chase Center on the Riverfront on Oct. 6 to honor both the 2020 and 2021 recipients of the Msgr. Thomas J. Reese Award for their work on behalf of the less fortunate.
Much has changed since Michael J. Hare was named the 2020 winner and Bishop Malooly the 2021 recipient. Hare, an executive with Buccini/Pollin Group, which helped build the Chase Center and other structures along the Wilmington riverfront, mentioned that his mother, Joan, died in February of this year, so she did not live to see him receive the award. And between the time Bishop Malooly was selected for the Msgr. Reese Award and the dinner where it was given out, the Diocese of Wilmington welcomed a new bishop.
Msgr. Steven Hurley, vicar general of the Diocese of Wilmington, introduced Bishop Malooly. All of us, he said, are lucky to have mentors, and Bishop Malooly was a mentor to him, as well as a good friend and example of leadership. Too often during his priestly ministry, the bishop’s assignment was to clean up messes made by other people. But he never complained.

Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
LIHEAP Appointments are Still Available!
|
|
Catholic Charities is taking applications for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) for the upcoming heating season. This federally-funded program assists low-income Delawareans with heating bills through direct payments to home energy suppliers. The benefit is based on a household’s income, size, and type of fuel.
In order to qualify, you must make an appointment with Catholic Charities. Call your local Catholic Charities office. Regular office hours are 8:30 am - 4:30 pm.
- In Kent County, call 302-674-1782
- In New Castle County, call 302-654-9295
- In Sussex County, call 302-856-6310
Catholic Charities will call first-time applicants to schedule a telephone or in-person appointment to validate that you have submitted all of the necessary documents and information before your LIHEAP intake is finalized. Please keep in mind, masks are required for all in-person appointments.
If you are eligible for LIHEAP, you also may qualify for other programs that require LIHEAP eligibility. If your home is not as energy efficient as it could be, you may qualify for home weatherization improvements through the Delaware Weatherization Assistance Program, also administered by Catholic Charities.
