Head of Catholic Charities resigns
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

The president of Catholic Charities resigned last week — the second of the organization's leaders to quit within the last year and the latest in an exodus of officials to leave the nonprofit since the fall of 2008.

The St. Louis Archdiocese did not announce publicly that Monsignor Mark Ullrich had resigned Dec. 15, but archdiocesan spokeswoman Elizabeth Westhoff confirmed the move Wednesday, and provided a statement from St. Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson.

Carlson said Ullrich "submitted his resignation to me with the request to return to parish work full time."

Ullrich did not return a call to his residence at the Cathedral Basilica seeking comment. The 57-year-old priest had replaced Catholic Charities' previous president, Thomas Mulhearn, in March. At the time Ullrich was the nonprofit's spiritual director. Ullrich also served as Catholic Charities' associate director in the 1980s.
