Today, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia announced that Most Reverend Nelson J. Pérez, D.D. has appointed Dr. Jason Sorgini as the new Chief Human Resources Officer for the Archdiocese effective January 4, 2027.
In making this appointment, Archbishop Pérez said, “I am filled with joy to welcome Dr. Sorgini as the new Chief Human Resources Officer for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. His deep experience and extensive knowledge in this key administrative component will be an asset to our entire local Church. He is also a man of deep faith who balances the pastoral and temporal facets of the human resources world with great poise. I look forward to the many contributions he will make to our shared work of forming Missionary Disciples in parishes, schools, and ministries throughout the region and ask that all join me in praying for the fruit of his work.”
Dr. Sorgini’s career features progressive leadership responsibilities and robust academic achievement.

I believe human resources must be mission-centered and people-centered. Our work should reflect the values of the Church. Every employee should be treated with dignity, respect, fairness, and compassion.
“My priority will be to listen carefully and build strong relationships. I want to ensure employees have the support, resources, and clarity they need to do their work well. When we invest in the people who serve the Archdiocese, we strengthen the mission they carry out for others. I look forward to advocating for our employees and staff. Together, we can continue building a culture rooted in collaboration, service and faith. I am grateful for this opportunity and eager to work alongside colleagues throughout the Archdiocese.”
