Matching grant donations: The Mark 5:19 Project

Happy first birthday to The Mark 5:19 Project! We foster thriving, apostolic parishes...and we're growing!

We have accomplished much in our first year--consulting with multiple parishes, speaking at diocesan and (soon) national conferences, and creating parish missions that work. It's time to build on what has borne fruit--and make it even better! Our 2025 goal is to create and implement THE BEST RESOURCE AVAILABLE in English for parishes to make the turn to become fully missional and bring Christ's hope to the immediate community and the larger world. In order to do that, we need to carve out time and space to write, test, and promote this resource. In the end, we will build something all parishes can use and gain balance, direction, and tools for discernment.

We are creating a matching grant to kickstart our campaign, which will begin Easter week. Will you consider offering a one time donation of any amount now? We want to raise $10,000 total to do the consulting, research, and testing. We know this is doable, and a matching grant to help people get excited about supporting this specific work.

Every donation to create this matching grant is a donation to our 501c3, and moves us forward by making quality parish renewal affordable and accessible to all parishes of every size, shape, and situation.

Please take this appeal to prayer, and help us help Catholic parishes thrive across the USA!
