Catholic campus mass

Running a Catholic campus ministry is challenging:

  • Diminishing funds threaten your vital programs.

  • Frustrating team dynamics hold your efforts back.

  • You feel isolated without guidance or emotional support.

  • Lack of expertise leaves you at a loss for where to even begin.

“Do not be afraid. Open up your hearts to Christ.” 

- St. John Paul II at World Youth Day in Denver (1993)

We help Catholic campus ministries like yours grow effectively!

Develop a Sustainable Funding Plan

Stop stressing about which programs to cut with a ministry that’s fully funded and effectively marketing to a growing list of donors.

Build A Healthy, UNited TEam

Lead with a team at your side where everyone knows their role and works together in harmony to advance your mission.

shepherd your flock with more freedom

Spend your days igniting contagious faith in generations of college students instead of feeling “stuck” behind the wheel of a struggling business.

Hear from Father Andy Hammeke

"We recently needed a way to raise more funds beyond our current Sunday collection to afford FOCUS Missionaries and do more and more for our students. I didn't have the knowledge on how to help my development director do her job well. She needed to go somewhere for help. Praise God, she found Sacred Heart Consulting, and from day one, they've been unbelievably helpful to us. They gave us a structure to know that we can sustain fundraising to fulfill our mission year in and year out. They deeply care about us and our mission here. I can't recommend it more!"

    "Sacred Heart Consulting has made a huge difference for us in creating and organizing a real plan for development at our Newman Center."

    “Over the last three years, Sacred Heart Consulting has been instrumental in keeping us on track toward major goals in spite of turnover. This included forming an advisory board, executing multiple matching gift campaigns, more than doubling our monthly giving, cultivating real relationships with major donors, and planning and executing a gala event of over 150 people.”

    “Sacred Heart Consulting Company has been a real blessing, teaching us a lot and often believing more is possible for our Newman Center than we tend to think.”

    “Having never done any kind of development or fundraising work, I was feeling pretty insecure and ignorant of the whole process and how it worked. Sacred Heart Consulting Company has been a real blessing, teaching us a lot and often believing more is possible for our Newman Center than we tend to think.”

    - Fr. Chris Markman, undCatholic | Grand Forks, ND
