Brian Mulholland, Chairman of the Board and President of the John S. Mulholland Family Foundation, was invited by President and Mrs. Obama to attend the White House ceremony on the South Lawn welcoming His Holiness, Pope Francis, on September 23rd.
During his remarks, the President notably stated: “You call on all of us, Catholic and non-Catholic alike, to put the “least of these” at the center of our concern. You remind us that in the eyes of God our measure as individuals, and as societies, is not determined by wealth or power or station or celebrity, but by how well we hew to Scripture’s call to lift up the poor and the marginalized, to stand up for justice and against inequality, and to ensure that every human being is able to live in dignity – because we are all made in the image of God.”
The John S. Mulholland Family Foundation was formed with those sentiments as we endeavor, in our own humble way, to help the “least of these” right in our Washington neighborhoods, providing supplemental food assistance at three pantries.
Also attending the event were Board Members Mrs. John S. Mulholland and John C. Feller.
