The six counties which comprise the Diocese of Youngstown were separated from the Cleveland Diocese by order of the Holy See in 1943. Catholic Charities was established by Bishop James McFadden soon after the formation of the diocese to coordinate the social service efforts already present in five of the six counties. The Catholic Service League of Ashtabula County was added to complete the diocesan presence in each of the counties.

Catholic social service efforts in both the eastern and western regions of the diocese predate the official establishment of Catholic Charities by more than 25 years. Early priorities for Catholic Charities included child welfare, emergency services, and family services.

In 1999, the Diocese of Youngstown Catholic Charities Corporation (DOYCCC) was formed to strengthen the Catholic identity, structure and mission of the social service and housing organizations operating under the auspices of the Catholic Church. Today, the DOYCCC includes three affiliate social service agencies and one housing corporation: Catholic Charities of Ashtabula County; Catholic Charities Serving Portage and Stark Counties; Catholic Charities Regional Agency, serving Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull Counties; and Catholic Charities Housing Opportunities.

Presently, we continue to work within our communities to serve all who are in need through services offered, qualified staffing/personnel and research to indicate what is best for all whom we serve.
