"The Catholic community has been helping the disadvantaged in Singapore for many years. The establishment of the CSCC will enhance the practices of Catholic charities and social service groups under its umbrella and increase the impact of the Catholic social work on the broader community. It is much in line with what the Charity Council wants to do with the charities in Singapore." |
 |
|
| "My congratulations to the Catholic Church for its proactive establishment of the CSCC to bring together the many Catholic social and community organisations that already do so much
good work. NVPC has always sought to multiply its efforts on volunteerism and philanthropy by working with like-minded umbrella bodies that actively support our message of giving,
and we look forward to working with the CSCC to increase the charity pie and improve the state of giving in Singapore." Mrs Tan Chee Koon Former CEO, National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre |

| "The Catholic community has always believed in helping the less fortunate. Much has been done all these decades and yet many go unassisted because of the lack of a coordinated effort. There are many small and disparate social and community organisations operating at the parish level. They do good work and have helped many people. Members of the Church do not feel party to the good works and are poorly informed of the efforts made. It is timely that we are all now called to work together as one Church, the Catholic Church. I am very excited to see that all the Catholic social service and charity organisations will come together under one umbrella organisation the CSCC. When we work together as one family there will be more synergies and even more Catholics will willingly come forward to serve. As Catholics we belong to one family. Working together we as the Catholic family can and will make an even greater difference to the lives of many. CSCC can and should be the model organisation to emulate in the Singapore's charity sector." |

"The Catholic community has been helping the less fortunate in society for a long time, through a variety of social and welfare organisations. With the CSCC bringing Catholic welfare organisations under one roof, it is now so much easier to give to them to support their work." |
 |
|
| "CSCC will be a useful coordinating umbrella establishment for the various social and community organisations of the Church. It can look to providing common services in training, research, HR policy, advisory and information dissemination. Working in a harmonious and close relationship with the organisations, it can foster and promote the Church's apostolate activities for the betterment and benefit of the people." Mr Michael Thio Member, Archdiocesan Finance Commission, Vice-President General, International Confederation of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul |

| "I wish to extend my congratulations and best wishes for having finally succeeded to form the CSCC, a body which undoubtedly will bring great help and support to all the Catholic organisations in the Church, in Singapore. You have nominated very capable and experienced people on your board …. we promise to give you all the cooperation you need according to our means and good will for the CSCC to be a true means of reaching to all people in need." Bro. Emmanuel Chairman, Catholic Welfare Services |

| "We are pleased to be a member of CSCC. With the modernization and fast growth in Singapore, it's important for us to adopt a synergized approach to dealing with social causes in Singapore. With the support of CSCC, organisations like CARE can receive support and expertise that we need to cater to the HIV/AIDS community in Singapore. This is a great move forward for the Catholic Church to reach out to the less fortunate amongst us in an organized and structured manner. It will also help us to rally the lay people and match their skills to serve as volunteers for the various causes." Jacinta Rajoo Former President, Catholic AIDS Response Effort |
 |
|
| "I believe CSCC being the leader of our Catholic social service organisations and guided by the spirit of love will make a significant difference in the lives of those whom she strives to serve both locally and regionally." Fr Charles Sim, SJ Former President, Family Life Society (FLS) |
