Chief Executive Officer
Deacon Kevin Sartorius serves as the CEO of Catholic Charities of Eastern Oklahoma. He began his career at Catholic Charities in 2004 as Development Director and became Executive Director in 2009. An innovator with a tireless “can-do” spirit, Deacon Kevin has led CCEOK to become an incredible force for good to those in need throughout their 31-county diocese.
As Executive Director, Deacon Kevin led the capital campaign – Mission of Hope: Changing Lives with Love – which raised $22 million to build Catholic Charities’ Tulsa campus. With the new campus came two new programs: a dental clinic and an adult education program, as well as a new home for ten other programs operated by the organization. Additional capital campaigns later resulted in Porta Caeli House, a home for the dying, which opened in 2017, and The Market at Catholic Charities, which opened in 2022.
Over the years, Deacon Kevin and Catholic Charities have become a trusted leader in the community when a crisis strikes Eastern Oklahoma – including the 2019 floods, the Covid-19 pandemic, and the Afghan refugee crisis. The organization is proven to be nimble and competent when facing a challenge and their example is being shared across a network of similar nonprofits across the country.
Each year, Catholic Charities serves people in need in Eastern Oklahoma without regard for race, nationality, creed or religion; approximately 85% of whom are not Catholic. The majority helped are the working poor, those living on the margins, where just obtaining basic food and shelter are daily challenges. Their programs include food assistance, a home for the dying, a dental clinic, a pregnancy clinic, adult education, immigration legal services, refugee resettlement, counseling, healing retreats and disaster outreach. They also offer two residential programs, one for working single mothers and their children and the other for pregnant women and their newborns.
In addition to his service at Catholic Charities, Deacon Kevin serves on the Ascension St. John Mission Committee, the Tulsa Chamber Advisory Council and the Board of the American Red Cross.
Deacon Kevin has a degree in Political Science from Oklahoma State University with a Certificate in International Relations, a Certificate in Catholic Social Teaching from the Catholic University of America. He completed a comprehensive six-year academic formation program leading up to his ordination as a deacon for the Roman Catholic Church in 2011.
Deacon Kevin and his wife, Jennifer, have seven children and live on 20 acres. He enjoys the outdoors and has recently combined his love of travel with his newfound cycling hobby.
