Welcoming Two New Board Members

The Edmonton Catholic Schools Foundation is pleased to welcome two new members to its Board of Directors. 

Joining the Board are Mary Molloy and Dr. Christopher Leung. “We are very honoured to have Mary and Chris on our team. Their lives have embodied integrity, compassion, generosity, and selfless service in the community – especially to those in need. Their business acumen, non-profit experience, and outstanding leadership skills will greatly enhance the Foundation’s strategic fundraising efforts,” stated Mona-Lee Feehan, Chair of the Edmonton Catholic Schools Foundation Board.  

Mary Molloy’s career, both in the public and private sector, spanned 30 years working in government affairs, community relations and stakeholder engagement.  Mary also has been very involved in the Catholic community. She served on the Board of Governors of St. Joseph’s College, chaired the 2001 Sign of Hope Campaign, was co-chaired the Archdiocesan Cornerstone of Faith Campaign, and served as past Provincial of Friars Gala. Currently Mary is a member of the Edmonton City Centre Church Corporation’s (E4C) Board of Directors, and Vice Chair of the Edmonton Archdiocesan Council of the CWL. She has a B.Com from the University of Saskatchewan and Diploma of Corporate Communications from Boston College.  In 2013, Mary received the Kevin Carr Christian Leadership Award from Newman Theological College.  Mary and her husband David McKinlay are members of St Joseph Basilica Parish.

Recruited from Hong Kong, Christopher Leung joined Catholic Social Services/Catholic Charities in 1981 as Director of Administration. He retired in 2012 after completing a 10-year commitment as Chief Executive Officer. Other than serving on the Foundation’s Board, he is on the Board of Trustees of the Council on Accreditation, a social services accreditation body based in New York. He has training in Social Work, Social Policy, Public Administration and Management Studies [a B.Soc.Sc. (Hons.), an MA, an MS and a Ph.D.].

​Serving on the Board requires dedication, time and passion to serve the best interests of the children and youth attending Edmonton Catholic Schools. The staff and current Board members are extremely grateful that Mary and Chris are offering their time and talents to strengthen our Foundation. ​
