Overview

Mission

The saint john vianney center shepherds our brothers and sisters in church ministry to be healthy in mind, body and spirit. We bridge deep tradition with best practices in a spirit of faith, integrity and respect for all.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 94% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
