The Catholic Initiative
The Catholic Initiative’s innovative approach shifts the ownership of church buildings and campuses to a newly formed nonprofit created solely for the purpose and then ensures that parish communities retain exclusive and permanent rights to use the property as a Catholic church. The model also creates a dedicated endowment to guarantee a reliable, steady income stream to support parishes and schools long into the future.
