From restoring Detroit’s historic St. Anne’s Basilica to supporting under-resourced communities, the Catholic Initiative is reimagining what it means to invest in the future of the Church. Discover how one man’s generosity sparked a movement of faith, service, and renewal—and how we’re all called to build something that lasts.
