The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Diocese of Cleveland has hired John Litten as its new Executive Director.  Litten most recently served as Director of Camp Christopher, Catholic Charities Community Services of Summit County since 2005.

Litten holds a Master of Public Administration from Cleveland State University, and a bachelor’s degree in graphic design from Ohio University.  The oldest of six children, the Cleveland native is a graduate of St. Edward High School and resides in Lakewood with his wife, Carrie Anne, and three children. 

He serves on the Lakewood Hospital Association Board of Directors and is a member of St. Luke the Evangelist Church.
