Catholic charities of staten island (formerly known as mission of the immaculate virgin for the protection of homeless and destitute children) is a not-for-profit agency of the archdiocese of new YORK. Founded in 1871 by father JOHN c. Drumgoole, it has always responded with services for those in need. The mission's response continues in the tradition of father drumgoole and its catholic heritage. In line with the gospel mandate and the social mission of the catholic church, it seeks to promote family life, create a caring and healing community, and allow ALL those it serves the realization of their GOD-given potential. CCSI strives in ALL its programs to promote the universal ideals of justice, peace, and compassion and to work in concert with other community resources. As the population of staten island grows and changes and the need for large congregate care programs decreases, CCSI directs its services to meet the new and challenging needs of its community. These services include toddler daycare and universal PRE-k; residential and other programs for the developmentally challenged; social services for families in crisis; assistance to senior citizens to maintain relationships, function as independently as possible, and contribute their experience and wisdom in intergenerational programs. In addition, CCSI shares its resources with parish communities and provides catholic youth opportunities in sports, creative arts, and social justice opportunities. Catholic charities of staten island also hosts a number of other not-for-profit organizations and two new YORK city schools. These include PS 25, PS3, mount loretto friendship club and the archdiocese of NY archive building, and richmond county day CAMP.
