Our leadership team bid farewell today to Sister Sharlet Wagner, as she becomes president of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Cross in Indiana. She and her work as executive director of Catholic Charities' Newcomer Network were praised by Rev. Msgr. John Enzler as an extraordinary gift. President and CEO Jim Malloy read excerpts from letters and proclamations from government officials, the Catholic Charities Board of Directors and others about her work. Cardinal Wilton D. Gregory described her as "the face of the Church to immigrants." In saying goodbye, Sister praised the "amazing people I've worked with throughout the organization. I'll leave a big part of my heart here." #leadership #service

As we approach #LaborDay, our mission advocate Rev. Msgr.

Our SHARE Food Network brings lower-cost groceries to many people across #DC and #Maryland and provides food packages for our free distributions. We are indebted to the volunteers who help make this happen. That includes employees from KPMG US, who spent their company's "Community Impact Day" packaging food in preparation for SHARE deliveries. Thank you to the #KPMGCommunityImpact crew who volunteered their time with us. #volunteers #givingback Yonette Wilson Williams KPMG

The employees and residents of Mulumba House welcomed Catholic Charities USA and staff members from individual Catholic Charities agencies across the country this week for a tour and information session about the transitional housing location and its Welcome Home Reentry Program. Attendees from Catholic Charities USA’s Prison Ministry Reentry Workgroup Conference were given a red-carpet welcome and met some of the 29 men who live at Mulumba House. Welcome Home provides mentoring, case-management services and housing to individuals returning to their communities from incarceration. “This place saves lives,” one said. “Now I have a support system that isn't just on the phone. I can sit and talk to staff here,” said another. “The help I get from the people here, I get from family. These people are family," said yet another. #secondchances #CCADW #WashingtonDC #housing #prisonministry Karen McNeal

This summer, Mondays mean game night at New York Avenue Men’s Shelter. Seven members of the St. John's College High School baseball team and their dads set out games on tables in the shelter cafeteria. Chess, Jenga, Connect Four, Backgammon and other games and activities are available as the high school students welcome some friendly competition. The #volunteers also set up and serve dinner to residents. It’s a home run for all, as these volunteers bring a sense of community and caring to residents of the D.C. shelter. #CCADW #communityservice #volunteerism #volunteering #washingtondc
