“Craig was our choice for this year’s Generosity of Spirit Award,” said Sister Therese Marques, RSM, executive director for the McAuley Center. “He exemplifies the foundation of public spiritedness. He has been involved with the Center since the early 1990s, is an active Board member, assists every year with the volunteer luncheons, provides professional assistance whenever needed, and his sensitivity is reflected through his constant smile. The Center is honored to have him as part of the ministry.”

Solomon resides in Dallas with his wife, Tammy, and 3-year-old son, Jacob.

The Mission of the Catherine McAuley Center is to directly minister to women and to the economically poor. The Center commits itself to meeting the housing needs of women by providing temporary shelter for women and children who are in a crisis that leaves them homeless or without substantial resources; providing programs and supportive services that assist women to obtain permanent housing which is safe, decent and affordable; providing a support system for the women and a bridge to self-reliance; and assessing those who need assistance to access medical and community resources. The Catherine McAuley Center operates 2 thirty-day residences for homeless women and children, the Catherine McAuley House in Plymouth and The Annex in Scranton.
