Restoring vibrancy in the Catholic Church.
Our Vision & Our Mission:
CatholicPatrons envisions a world where every Catholic parish, religious community, and school can flourish and fulfill its mission without being burdened by debt. CatholicPatrons seeks to create a global network of generous and faithful donors and connect them with those communities who need them most. CatholicPatrons hopes to strengthen the Catholic Church and its witness to the Gospel by empowering its members to practice solidarity, stewardship, and charity.
CatholicPatrons will be a crowdfunding platform that connects donors with Catholic parishes, religious communities, and schools to provide financial assistance to pay off their debts or restore their buildings. By using a model similar to DonorsChoose, Kickstarter, GiveSendGo, and GoFundMe, CatholicPatrons will enable donors to contribute to the growth of the Catholic Church and its diverse and vibrant expressions of faith. CatholicPatrons aims to supplement the support that parishioners give to their own parishes and to foster a sense of co-responsibility and communion among Catholics across the world.
Who we are.
A Roman Catholic lay apostolate committed to restoring vibrancy in the Catholic Church by empowering the faithful to practice solidarity, stewardship, and charity.
What we’ll do.
We’ll raise money for smaller Catholic parishes, religious communities, and Catholic schools to pay off or pay down their debt and to restore their buildings.
Why we do it.
We believe we Catholics have a responsibility to lift up one another and the Church as a whole to restore vibrancy throughout the Catholic Church.
How we’ll do it.
Crowdfunding. This is just a modern word for the age old, tried-and-true method of Catholics coming together to meet the needs of the parish.
