Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Center Ripple of Hope Award Dinner
View image | gettyimages.com As Catholic Charities NY’s executive director, I go to a fair number of benefit dinner events. Last night I was at the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Center Ripple of Hope Award Dinner.

Catholic Charities is all about social change; our mission is to build a more just and compassionate society.
