The Catholic Initiative is a groundbreaking, Vatican-approved funding model that restores Catholic churches and schools across the U.S. while reenergizing parish life where faith, culture, and community flourish. Through a newly formed nonprofit, ownership of church buildings and campuses is secured for the long term—while ensuring that parish communities retain exclusive and permanent rights to worship and gather as a Catholic church.

This innovative structure protects these sacred spaces from closure or sale and anchors them in faithful service. Each project includes the creation of a dedicated endowment, managed by leading financial firms, to provide a steady, sustainable income stream. The result: vibrant parishes with the financial foundation to thrive for generations.
