Catholic Church & School Capital Campaigns

Catholic parishes often reach important moments when they must address facility needs, reduce debt, or expand ministries to serve their parish and community more effectively. A well-planned capital campaign can help a parish move forward with confidence while strengthening stewardship and engagement across the faith community.

Our Experience with Catholic Churches & Schools

At Mark Davy & Associates, we have experience working with Catholic parishes and understand the importance of working closely with pastoral leadership, parish councils, finance councils, and volunteers throughout the process.
We recognize that successful parish campaigns require thoughtful planning, clear communication, and a process that builds unity and trust within the parish community.

Common Campaign Priorities for Catholic Churches

While every parish has unique needs, many Catholic capital campaigns focus on:
  • Facility renovations and improvements
  • Deferred maintenance and major repairs
  • Accessibility improvements
  • School and education space improvements
  • Debt reduction or elimination
  • Expanding ministry and outreach programs
A capital campaign provides an opportunity for parishioners to participate in strengthening their parish for future generations.

How We Help Catholic Parishes

Feasibility Studies - We conduct confidential interviews and assessments to evaluate readiness, identify concerns, and determine potential support within the parish.
Campaign Planning & Strategy - We help define priorities, develop a compelling case for support, and create a campaign structure that works within the parish’s leadership structure.
Campaign Leadership & Support - We guide parish leadership and volunteers through each phase of the campaign to ensure a well-organized and effective effort.
Stewardship-Focused Approach - Our process encourages participation across the parish and emphasizes stewardship, unity, and mission.
