Msgr. Fitzgerald honored for his contribution to CCS

SALT LAKE CITY –In 65 years, Catholic Community Services has grown from an organization that primarily provided adoption services to one that offers a wide range of programs, from help with utility payments to refugee resettlement. Throughout those years, CCS has been guided by a number of different hands, but none has been more involved than Msgr. J. Terrence Fitzgerald, vicar general of the Diocese of Salt Lake City. Msgr. Fitzgerald began his involvement with CCS in 1969, when he served the first of his two terms as executive director, and has served in some way on the executive committee since.
“He has a personal passion for the agency, I can speak to that right from my heart because I see it every meeting that we have with monsignor,” said Kevin Potts, the board president, on Oct. 8, during a staff ceremony marking the agency’s 65th anniversary. >>>

Saint Rose of Lima Parish has new priest

PARK CITY – Father José Nestor P. Lachica has wasted no time getting involved in the Diocese of Salt Lake City.

Fr. Lachica’s home diocese, in the Philippines, holds retreats but not convocations, he said, adding that he enjoyed the local event. “It’s an informative week. It helps you understand the Church in this particular area.” >>>

Catholic Community Services celebrates 65 years

SALT LAKE CITY – Catholic Community Services (CCS) will celebrate its 65th anniversary in conjunction with Catholic Charities USA’s 100th anniversary at the annual CCS benefit dinner “65 Years of Stories,” Nov. 10 at Little America Hotel.
“We have been providing help and creating hope for people for 65 years,” said Kathryn Brussard, CCS director of development and marketing.
CCS changed its name from Catholic Charities in 1981 to better describe its expanded social service programs. However, it still is affiliated with the national organization, which celebrated its centennial last month with a gathering in Washington, D.C. At that event, the organization president, Father Larry Snyder said they will always provide a safety net for people, and they want to create a trampoline of opportunity. >>>

Campaign for Catholic Education starts with dinner

A six-month campaign sponsored by the Knights of Columbus to raise money for Utah Catholic Schools began Oct. 9 with a catered dinner at Saint Vincent de Paul’s Holy Family Hall.
The venue was appropriate, said Chuck Dover, Master of the Fourth Degree Utah Knights of Columbus, who coordinated the dinner, because “this is about our family, our Catholic family, our diocesan family.”
Unlike other dioceses, where Catholic schools are closing, Utah has opened schools in the past 10 years, so there are now 16 in the state. >>>
