Marydale Retirement Village is a Section 8 Housing program operated by Catholic Ministry to the Elderly and serving senior citizens and persons with disabilities. Its programs and policies align with the Fair Housing Act, prohibiting discrimination in housing because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex or familial status.

As part of a new collaboration, our parishes will host donation drives in partnership with Goodwill. Donated items will be sold in Goodwill stores across Delaware. Goodwill will provide compensation to Catholic Charities for the donations collected, helping Catholic Charities to continue its mission services.
