Paul O’Callaghan

Paul O’Callaghan, the chief executive officer of Caritas Australia, the Church’s international aid and development agency, has tendered his resignation.

It comes shortly after the successful conclusion of Project Compassion, Caritas Australia’s major annual fundraising and community education project.

Bishop Christopher Saunders, chair of the National Council of Caritas Australia, in accepting Mr O’Callaghan’s resignation after five-and-a-half years in the position, thanked him warmly for his dedicated service and for his earlier contribution to the Church in other roles.

Caritas Australia will announce interim arrangements to replace Mr O’Callaghan in the near future.
