Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Green Bay makes a difference in many lives every day.

For Judy Turba, a mental health counselor with Catholic Charities in Green Bay, Catholic Charities is the diocese's hands-on way of spreading the Gospel.

No two days are alike, Turba said. Her first client may be a seven-year-old, the next 83, and they may be followed by a couple working through marital difficulties. She also leads group counseling for court-referred abusers. "We are one of two or three places that offer services for men who are violent," she said.
