Mrs. McCabe is Senior Vice President with Aon and has over 15 years of expertise in developing business relationships which she brings to her new leadership role with Catholic Charities.
Bishop Burbidge, expressed his gratitude for Mrs. McCabe taking on this responsibility. “Rebecca is very well qualified for this important role. She is a successful businessperson, an involved parishioner at Sacred Heart Cathedral and has been involved with Catholic Charities through the Catholic Charities Gala, including as a current co-chair,” Bishop Burbidge said. “I know that Rebecca will provide great leadership and will assist us in creating even greater outreach to those in most need.”
