Where We Began
In 1952, Father Thomas Brennan, who was both a Catholic priest and a professional social worker, opened the Catholic Welfare Bureau in downtown Kitchener with the support of the Bishop of the Diocese of Hamilton. What a wonderful gift the Catholic Church gave to our communities in the Region of Waterloo. From the outset, the Catholic Welfare Bureau, in an all-embracing manner, provided warmth and support to those in need. Over the past 57 years, our agency has been known variously as the Catholic Welfare Bureau, Catholic Social Services, and, Catholic Family Counselling Centre. We have grown from an agency serving 250 persons with a budget of $2,500 to an agency that helps more than 25,000 person a year within a budget of $5,000,000.
Where We Are Today
In 2009, we changed our name to Mosaic Counselling and Family Services - a name that welcomes all individuals who are part of this Region's rich and growing cultural mosaic and who seek a variety of help and assistance. Mosaic is a name that truly encapsulates the broad range of services we provide and the beautiful spectrum of people we serve.
Mission Statement
Mosaic Counselling and Family Services exists so that people find the strength, skills and confidence to deal with life's challenges and opportunities.
Our Mosaic Vision
We believe that every individual has a right to achieve their maximum potential. But, greater achievement is possible as a group, bound together by common goals of justice, safety and equality. At Mosaic Counselling and Family Services, we will strive ever harder to help individuals gain strength - while maintaining their distinct characteristics within the rich mosaic of our community.
