The CEO/president of Catholic Charities Galveston-Houston has announced plans to resign after more than six years at the helm of the nonprofit organization.
The organization confirmed the departure of Bonna Kol in a statement but did not respond to questions about whether her resignation was connected to the fallout from a sexual abuse scandal at St. Michael’s Home for Children. …
Kol’s resignation comes about four months after the organization found itself at the center of a major scandal for attempting to cover up the sexual abuse of an 8-year-old boy at one of its shelters for immigrant children.
The federal Office of Refugee Resettlement issued a scathing report that found the group’s senior management “deliberately misled” federal officials about a July 1 sexual assault at one of the shelters run through its St. Michael’s Home for Children.
