what people are saying about katie:

 "I was blessed to speak alongside Katie Klee as she hosted the Marian Women's Day in Indianapolis. She. Was. Fantastic. I have heard many emcees over the years, and I have never encountered someone with such wit, poise, and ability to truly enliven each transition throughout the day like Katie can. She made the attendees feel at ease from the moment the day began, she helped deepen the points made after each session, and she did it with humor that brought an incredible light-heartedness that event days call for. If I was hosting an event, I would hire Katie as the emcee in a heartbeat."  

-Emily Wilson Hussem

Speaker and Author

 "I am currently studying film in Los Angeles, and even in a city full of creative and talented communicators, Katie Klee stands out as one of the most genuinely funny, gifted, and faithful people I know. My background includes many years as a youth leader with the Notre Dame Vision program, serving as a priest and campus minister at King’s College in Pennsylvania, and working in vocation ministry, roles that exposed me to the world of Catholic public speaking and large-scale Catholic events such as ND Vision, NCYC, FOCUS. In that context, I can say with confidence: Katie is made for this work.

I have known Katie for over fifteen years and have witnessed her excel as a Catholic communicator, host, and emcee. She brings together a rare and powerful blend of humor, energy, improvisation, and an intuitive ability to read and connect with any audience. Her humor is natural and engaging, but always grounded in messages that are the fruit of deep personal prayer, lived experience, and thoughtful reflection.

Katie has a remarkable gift for making audiences feel immediately welcome, genuinely seen, and fully engaged. She can calm restless hearts, hold attention, and guide listeners toward a deeper encounter with God. When the room is not laughing, it is reflecting, listening, and opening to Christ’s presence. She elevates every event not by drawing attention to herself, but by creating a space where participants can encounter God’s love and hope. 

Katie shares Christ’s hope with intelligence, warmth, and authenticity. Any group fortunate enough to have her speak or emcee will leave inspired, uplifted, and more open to God’s voice in their lives.” 

-Fr. Brendan McAleer, CSC

 "Katie Klee is a natural emcee, speaker, and host. She exudes a playful and engaging presence that immediately connects with her audience. Katie’s ability to present meaningful material with both authenticity and energy makes her a joy to listen to! She’s a gifted communicator who not only captivates a crowd but also brings out the best in everyone around her!” 

-Elisabeth Williams,

Co-Founder of Sock Religious

 "Katie was a fabulous MC for ND VISION at Notre Dame. She engaged with the audience (high school and college students) in a fun, relatable and meaningful way.  I appreciated how she prayed for each of the undergraduate mentors before they delivered their Stories of Grace. Katie’s energy is contagious. She also had an innate sense of what was important to the audience — hunger to dive deeper into their faith."

-Susan, Program Assistant

Notre Dame Vision, McGrath Institute at The University of Notre Dame 

 "Katie’s insights and reflection were exceptionally refreshing. As a woman who has experienced infertility and miscarriage, I have had seasons where trusting in God’s goodness has been quite difficult. Katie’s story, and her candid sharing about her own journey of trusting God, especially amidst unchosen singleness and other losses, resonated with me in a way no other Catholic speaker ever has before. It genuinely inspires me to see Katie living vibrantly, fruitfully, and joyfully, and her talk has inspired me to keep trusting in God’s goodness. Katie’s testimony and perspective is a gift to the Church, and I sincerely hope more people will hear her story and absorb her many insights."

-Anonymous Parishioner

Attended Katie's "Sarah's Laugh" Talk

 " I asked Katie to plan, host and direct our Faculty and Staff Retreat after having talked with her at another event. Not only was she helpful throughout the whole process of planning the retreat, but she was particularly sensitive to the needs of our staff and what would be most beneficial for them." 

"Katie's talks on retreat were a good reminder for me to live FROM the love of the Father, not FOR it, as if it was something I had to earn."

-Andrew, Campus Minister
