The Social Apostolate was established by the Catholic Diocese of Savannah in 1968 to “put people in the pews” in touch with the poor. At that time we were the only group serving the poor in the Downtown area. We serve any person regardless of race, color or creed. We do not judge or try to convert anyone. 

Our mission is to witness to the biblical values of charity and justice in the city of Savannah by caring for and empowering the poor, the homeless, the disabled, and the “At Risk” of our society. At our beginning we would “hand sandwiches out a window”. Today we are a well-respected agency in the Community. We try to discover and fill the gaps in the community that prevent people from moving forward. Our present services include hot lunch, showers, personal hygiene products, clothes, birth certificates, IDs, work clothes, transportation, prescriptions, groceries, baby needs, school uniforms and educational programs.
