History of Catholic Guardian Services In October 2013, we changed our name. Catholic Guardian Society and Home Bureau, a name we’ve proudly used since June 2006 when Catholic Guardian Society merged with Catholic Home Bureau, will now be called Catholic Guardian Services. Our former name was lengthy and sometimes confusing to the diverse groups we serve, so we changed to a name that is a bit shorter and easier to understand. Catholic Guardian Services reflects our focus on service and continues to be an expression of the Archdiocese of New York’s long-standing commitment to assist all children, families and adults in need, regardless of race, creed, or religious affiliation. CGS is a well-established organization with a long history of providing comprehensive human services. We are entirely devoted towards aiding those in need, as reflected in our new tagline – Providing Help, Creating Hope, Preserving Dignity.
