James Malloy, a parishioner of St. Alphonsus Rodriguez in Woodstock, was named March 28 as the new president and chief executive officer of Catholic Charities Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington.

The 60-year-old Ellicott City resident is a retired vice admiral of the U.S. Navy. He was named to lead the D.C. charity, beginning July 1, by John Veihmeyer, chairman of the Catholic Charities Board of Directors, after a nationwide search, according to a news release by the organization.

Catholic Charities D.C. operates 52 programs in 34 locations in Washington and five surrounding Maryland counties that serve the poor and vulnerable. The organization has more than 800 employees and 5,000 volunteers. 

“The opportunity to be the next president and CEO of Catholic Charities is humbling,” Malloy said in a news release issued by Catholic Charities. “But it energizes me because the work that this organization does truly matters. Its effects are evident — both immediate and long term.”

Malloy, who retired from the Navy in October 2022 as deputy commander of U.S. Central Command, succeeds Monsignor John J. Enzler, who is retiring after 12 years leading Catholic Charities in Washington.

“Jim is a proven and tested leader, but just as importantly, he is a man of deep faith who is passionate about spending the next phase of his career making a difference and caring for the underserved,” Veihmeyer said in a statement released by the Catholic Charities. “We couldn’t be more excited for Catholic Charities to welcome this incredible individual as its next leader.”

Cardinal Wilton D. Gregory, Archbishop of Washington, appointed Malloy the 14th leader in the organization’s 94-year history after a unanimous recommendation by the Catholic Charities Board of Directors. 

“The leadership of Jim Malloy will be an asset for Catholic Charities as it moves into the next phase of its history,” Cardinal Gregory said in the news release. “He has a clear concern for the poor among us, and he will be a strong advocate for those in need.”

Raised in Silver Spring, Malloy graduated from St. John’s College High School and the Naval Academy. He holds three advanced degrees, including a master of Health Sciences in Emergency and Disaster Management from Touro University in California.

Throughout his 36-year career as a Navy officer, he was a Catholic lay leader aboard the ships on which he served. 

Malloy and his wife, Kimberly Ann, have three adult sons.
