The Secretariat for Catholic Human Services of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia (CHS) marks National Social Work Month this March.

Archbishop Nelson Perez has recorded a special video message thanking social workers in numerous CHS agencies who administer a broad range of human services programs. They serve more than 300,000 individuals of all faiths annually through throughout the five-county Philadelphia area.
