In 1965, the orphanage closed in Bethany and moved to newer facilities in Northeast Oklahoma just off of Eastern Avenue. The ten acre campus consisted of space to play as well as two dorms, a man office, a cafeteria, a chapel, and the chaplain's quarters. This had all been arranged through the leadership of Father A.A. Isenbart (later Msgr.). In addition to his tasks as director of the orphanage he had led the Associated Catholic Charities for over 20 years. (The Sooner Catholic, Sept 5, 1976, pg. 6).
