New director at Catholic Charities
By Voice staff
Solomon Belette has been appointed executive director
of Catholic Charities of the East Bay, succeeding interim director, Deacon
Thomas McGowan. He has been the agency’s director of programs for
the past eight years.
He also has more than 20 years of mission-related work and non-profit
experience within the Church, including positions at the United States
Conference of Catholic Bishops/Migration and Refugee Services in San Francisco
and Washington, D.C. from 1992 – 1997.
“It is a great honor and privilege for me to serve Catholic Charities
as the 10th executive director,” Belette said. “We are blessed
with a dedicated board of directors, staff, volunteers, and donors who
believe in the great tradition of Catholic Charities as an agency, whose
mission is to serve the poor and marginalized in our East Bay community.”
A member at Christ the King Parish in Pleasant Hill, Belette is married
and the father of four children.
