Overview

Mission

St. Vitus Church offers many opportunities for worship

What it reported doing in 2024

Built in 2020, the parish hall is a state of the art facility that meets the needs of st. Vitus, specifically parish fundraisers, presentations, dinners, watch parties, and donuts on sundays. It is complete with up to four side classrooms, which can be opened up in order to make room for bigger events in the hall. Most importantly, the enormous-sized kitchen meets the needs of any event that occurs here. The priority of the parish hall is first and foremost for the needs of the parish.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 72% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 66% for direct work, and 34% for grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
