Caritas de Macau is a comprehensive social service organization under the auspices of the Catholic Diocese of Macau, formerly known as "Centro Social Mateus Ricci". Caritas Macau was founded by Fr. Luis Ruiz Suarez, S.J. on 8 December 1951. In 1971, "Centro Social Mateus Ricci" applied for joining Caritas Internationalis, and renamed itself as "'Caritas de Macau” afterward. Caritas Macau aims to provide social welfare services targeting individuals, families, groups and communities. Through helping them in social, economic, moral and spiritual life, they can achieve a more human-friendly situation which is being responsible for their own living, and building communities based on truth, justice, love, freedom and peace.
