Catholic Welfare Services (CWS) is founded on the Spirit of the Good Shepherd – leading people to love and fulfillment and the Spirit of the Good Samaritan – helping those who have fallen along the way.
The works of CWS began in 1959 with a simple food relief programme to provide food for the poor. Today, CWS has grown to be the Action Arm of the Catholic Church of Singapore, initiating, assisting, coordinating and carrying out social services to alleviate poverty and distress among the people of Singapore, regardless of race or creed.
CWS was instrumental in the setting up and funding of projects such as the Good Shepherd Centre, the Marine Parade Familiy Service Centre, and the Catholic Aids Response Effort. CWS also provided funding to other Cathlic social service agencies such as the Family Life Society, the Roman Catholic Prison Ministry and the Morning Star Community Services.
