Catholic Charities Twin Cities has selected Jamie Verbrugge as its next president and chief executive officer.

Verbrugge will begin his new job on Jan. 21. Over the next several weeks, he will transition from his current role as Bloomington city manager, Catholic Charities said in a press release.

"We are pleased to welcome Jamie as the new president and CEO of Catholic Charities Twin Cities," Desirae Butler, chair of Catholic Charities' Board of Directors, said in the release. "His deep personal connection to Catholic Charities paired with his proven professional track record, commitment to public service, and strong leadership skills made him an ideal candidate. I am confident Jamie will help guide the organization to even greater success in lifting up our neighbors and continuously improving the lives of the people we serve."

As Bloomington's city manager for the past nine years, Verbrugge has "managed the daily operations of the city, including the implementation of its region-leading 'Bloomington Tomorrow Together' strategic plan," Catholic Charities said. Previously, he was the city manager in Brooklyn Park and city administrator in Rosemount. His resume also includes roles with cites of Eagan and Richfield.

"I am honored to join Catholic Charities as its new president and CEO," Verbrugge said. "It is an incredibly meaningful opportunity to lead an organization with such a strong foundation. Catholic Charities has a dedicated team that creates life-changing impact for those most in need in our community every day. I look forward to working alongside them to save lives and build brighter futures across the Twin Cities."

Verbrugge will succeed former Catholic Charities CEO Michael Goar, who was appointed president and CEO of Sisters of Charity Health System earlier this year. Catholic Charities CFO John Marston was appointed interim president and CEO in August 2024.

Catholic Charities Twin Cities offers programs for children, families, and adults and assists more than 33,000 people each year.
