Executive Director's Message
Dear Friends,
On June 24th the Board of Directors, staff, and colleagues of Kathleen McGowan celebrated her retirement from Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Joliet. We are truly grateful for her service and dedication for the past 15 years.
Today, a search committee comprised of Board members and representatives from the Diocese of Joliet is working tirelessly to hire a new Executive Director. While our search continues, I am pleased to announce that Deb Darzinskis, the Associate Executive Director for the past 13 years, has been appointed Interim Executive Director and is capably managing the day-to-day operations of the organization.
Catholic Charities is full of vigor and energy. Staff continues to help those in crisis with incredible determination, and everyday we thank God for your support and compassion. It is that very support that makes our work possible.
Please keep us in your prayers as our search for a new director continues, and as always, pray for those we serve.
Sincerely,
Kenneth Esch
Chairman, Board of Directors
