About the Company

S

St Coletta of Wisconsin

Established by the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi-Milwaukee over a century ago, St. Coletta of Wisconsin is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing quality residential, day/vocational programs and services for persons with development disabilities (DD) and other challenges. We strive to provide consumer-driven programs and services that consistently meet and exceed the expectations of our customers. As one of the oldest organizations in the country, we are dedicated to upholding the rights of persons with disabilities so they may be included in all aspects of life, participate as full citizens and receive the support they require for a quality life.

At St. Coletta we are strongly committed to cultivating both an internal and external sense of community. Connections with the communities in which we live and work are equally as important as nurturing the internal connections between clients, staff, families and benefactors. These relationships build a community spirit that is a unique part of our organization.

Though ecumenical in our approach, our heritage as a Catholic/Franciscan organization and our ongoing sponsorship by the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi guides all decision making and has a strong influence on programs, services and values.
