Ste. Anne de Detroit

Restoring one of America’s oldest continuously operating parishes

Ste. Anne is more than a historic landmark - it is the spiritual and cultural anchor of Detroit’s West Side. Through CI’s restoration model, we are bringing this basilica back to life, ensuring that it remains a place of worship, community, and beauty for generations to come. Your support helps preserve sacred architecture, strengthen parish life, and build a vibrant community hub for families, immigrants, and future generations.

Josephinum Academy of the Sacred Heart – Chicago

Transforming the future for young women

Josephinum Academy is one of Chicago’s most impactful Catholic schools, serving young women - many from low income families - who seek a rigorous education, strong formation, and a pathway to success. With CI’s support, the school is expanding access, enhancing academic programs, and empowering students to break cycles of poverty and become leaders in their families and communities. Your gift helps ensure that every young woman at The Jo can thrive.
