"What resonates most with me about the work we do at Catholic Charities Worcester County is my own lived experience. As a child, after my parents divorced, my family received Catholic Charities' support. I remember people arriving at our door the day before Christmas with food and presents that my mother was unable to provide at that time. I also have family members with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and loved ones who have struggled with addiction. The services Catholic Charities Worcester County provides make a real difference in the lives of people facing challenges. I know they have for me." - Daniel Bonnette, Board President Timothy McMahon Executive Director Daniel Bonnette RSM US LLP Retired, Board President Daniel Bonnette, RSM US LLP, Retired, President Richard Burke – Fallon Health, Retired, Vice President Daniel Ricciardi – College of the Holy Cross, Treasurer David Surprenant – Mirick O'Connell, Clerk BOARD MEMBERS Nana Adwoa Asare – Nurse Christina Andreoli – Berkshire Bank Joseph T.
