Rev. Larry Snyder, President of Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA), has been confirmed by the Holy Father as a Member of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum for a second five-year period.
In a letter informing Fr. Snyder of his appointment, the President of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum, Robert Cardinal Sarah, wrote, “While enclosing your letter of appointment I avail the opportunity to express our wishes for a continued fruitful collaboration with this Dicastery of the Holy See, during this second term of this responsibility entrusted to you by the Supreme Pontiff.”
Father Snyder will travel to Rome in January for the council’s Plenary Assembly.
“It is a privilege to be given the opportunity to continue to serve the Church and Catholic Charities agencies across the country in this way,” said Fr. Snyder. “We are reminded particularly during this Advent season of the powerful message of Christ to deliver charity to the millions in need. Through the Pontifical Council Cor Unum, we have the inspiration and coordination to manifest Christ’s love in these charitable works.”
