Washington D.C., Sep 17, 2012 \/ 03:10 pm (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- President and CEO of Denver Catholic Charities, Dr. Jonathan Reyes, is honored to accept his new role as executive director of the U.S. bishops' Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cAlthough I am sad to leave Catholic Charities and the community of northern Colorado, I am excited and honored by the opportunity to serve the Church in this capacity,\u201d he said in a Sept. 17 statement.<\/p>\n

\tMsgr. Ronny Jenkins, the U.S. bishops conference's general secretary, made the appointment, which was announced Sept. 17.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cJonathan Reyes brings vital experience with on-the-ground charities work and with young adults and is a proven administrator,\u201d Msgr. Jenkins said.<\/p>\n

\tIn December, Dr. Reyes will begin his new role with the USCCB, overseeing their efforts in domestic and international affairs and the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, the bishops' anti-poverty program.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cI look forward to working with the excellent staff of the USCCB,\u201d Dr. Reyes said.<\/p>\n

\tSince 2009, Dr. Reyes has served the Denver Archdiocese as president and CEO of Denver Catholic Charities.<\/p>\n

\tDuring his time with Catholic Charities, Dr. Reyes founded national volunteer and formation program for college students, Christ in the City. Now in its third year, the organization has seen over 200 participants serve the homeless of Denver while developing in their Catholic faith.<\/p>\n

\tIn that time, he oversaw the creation of Regina Caeli Catholic Counseling Center, which recently opened a second office due to growing request for Church-friendly mental health services.<\/p>\n

\tAdditionally, Dr. Reyes supervised the founding of Lighthouse Women's Care Center in Denver and completed the Guadalupe Community Assistance Center in Greeley, Colo.<\/p>\n

\tAlong with his role at Catholic Charities, Dr. Reyes co-founded and was the first president of Denver-based Catholic theological graduate school, the Augustine Institute, from 2005-2008.<\/p>\n

\tFrom 2004-2005, he was vice president for campus ministry and leadership formation of the team-based evangelization program aimed toward students on college campuses, Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) in Denver.<\/p>\n

\tDr. Reyes has served on the staff of Christendom College in Front Royal, Va. as an assistant professor of history and later as vice president of academic affairs from 1998-2004.<\/p>\n

\tIn 2000, he received a doctorate in European history from the University of Notre Dame and a bachelor of arts degree in history from the University of Michigan in 1990.<\/p>\n

\tDr. Reyes and his wife Stephanie have seven children.<\/p>\n
