Jason Shanks

President, National Eucharistic Congress

Jason Shanks is a nationally recognized Catholic leader, entrepreneur, and innovator whose mission-driven work over the last two decades has focused on renewing apostolates, strengthening Catholic institutions, and leading people to a deeper encounter with Jesus Christ.

He currently serves as President of the National Eucharistic Congress, where he previously was a founding board member and treasurer. Jason also served as President of the OSV Institute for Catholic Innovation, where he launched the first-ever Catholic “shark-tank” style competition and Catholic TED-style talks to ignite creativity, entrepreneurship, and new apostolic initiatives across the Church. His conviction that the Church is evergreen—and must be continually re-presented to every generation—has shaped his strategic leadership and vision for renewal. 

Prior to OSV, Jason was the Chief Executive Officer of Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan, where he successfully merged and reorganized five county-based social service agencies into one regional organization. His leadership earned him a Crain’s Detroit Business 40 Under 40 Award. Earlier in his career, he served as Secretariat Leader for Evangelization and Parish Life for the Diocese of Toledo and was the founder of Catholic Youth Summer Camp.

Jason’s academic background includes a BA in Education from Miami University of Ohio, an MA in Theology from the Pontifical College Josephinum with a concentration in the New Evangelization, and an MA in Nonprofit Administration from the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business.
