Overview
Mission
To serve the Catholic community with reverence and dedication to our faith.
What it reported doing in 2025
Provide hospitality to those who need a moment to rest, good food for thought, and some friendly encouragement. In a time where people are ridiculously busy, increasingly isolated and disconnected from each other, we thought it would be nice to open our home as an oasis on the journey. We gather together at the corner seeking to meet the needs of our community and build it up. We support this mission through the sale of religious goods and uplifting books.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 99% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
