Overview

Mission

To find solutions to the problems confronting priests in accordance with the authentic teaching of the roman catholic church and of the holy father and his predecessors.

What it reported doing in 2025

In january 2019, opus bono sacerdotii refocused its mission to become a retreat center for catholic priests in crisis, while continuing to provide the services listed in form 990, part iii, line 4a as "legacy" services to existing beneficiaries until such time as: (a) another organization could provide those services; or (b) the beneficiary no longer required those services. Opus bono began providing retreats to priests beneficiaries in 2018. It now provides up to four retreats free of charge each year at locations around the united states. Opus bono has reduced the provision of those legacy services as it has increased its retreat and spiritual renewal services.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 86% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 87% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
