Helping As I was Helped with Judy Orr, CEO Catholic Charities Nashville TN

“That whole sense of loss reverberated again.” Judy Orr, CEO of Catholic Charities Nashville, lost both of her parents before turning 20. She then faced a different kind of loss when Judy found out she was pregnant with the man she believed she would marry.   However, he told her he wasn’t ready.  Judy sought wise counsel from her parish priest. He recommended she see a counselor at Catholic Charities. Judy followed his advice.  Judy’s beloved son is now grown. As a single mom, she met and married her husband. They have been married for 39 years and have two more children together.  Judy also serves as the CEO of the nonprofit that helped her: Catholic Charities.
