The Roman Catholic Diocese of Tulsa & Eastern Oklahoma is a Catholic ecclesiastical jurisdiction serving 31 counties in eastern Oklahoma. It oversees 78 parishes and missions across about 26,417 square miles, with offices in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. The diocese operates under the authority of a Diocesan Bishop who serves as the chief pastor and coordinates the work of the laity through the curia, parishes, and affiliated institutions. The diocesan staff comprises dozens to a few hundred people, reflecting a mid-sized organizational footprint for a religious institution. The diocese's activities include education and outreach through parishes and related Catholic institutions, and it engages in collaboration with neighboring Catholic bodies in the region. In 2023, it partnered with the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City to share the school's concept with a board for potential approval.
