St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church
Campaign Purpose
“Church is being Church when it reflects Jesus’ presence, when it embodies the life of Christ.”
St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church & School needed renovations to their church, parish center, and school. They also wanted an endowment fund to pay for future maintenance and other needs.
Guided by Walsh & Associates, the church undertook a capital campaign effort, Faith In Our Future, just when the COVID-19 pandemic happened. They knew their needs weren’t going away so the church took a leap of faith and activated the campaign anyway.
As indicated in their Planning Study, also conducted by us, members responded enthusiastically to the plans. They exceeded their goal and raised 5.73 times their church’s annual giving! Construction was undertaken during the pandemic, the above image shows the new school entrance.

Testimonials
“We have just finished a campaign at St. Thomas Aquinas, and we have been successful in our efforts despite working through the Covid-19 pandemic. To me, that is quite an accomplishment. Thank you for helping us to do that. Your firm provided good materials that made things run well. You are quite professional and well organized at what you do. I’m glad we were able to include prayer into our efforts. Our campaign consultant was very professional and personal and we were happy to have her here. I’d be pleased to recommend Walsh & Associates to other churches.”

Helping Churches Reach New Heights in their Capital Campaigns
Our mission is to be great stewards, to live up to the Parable of Talents and to bring out the best in those we serve. Our consistent and proven-to-be-successful approach to directing church capital campaigns helps assure this. We just work with churches, only do capital campaigns and ground them in prayer, scripture and sound stewardship teachings. Then we combine this with practical, proven-to-be-most-productive operating methods. This not only assures you of getting the best results and best return on your capital campaign investment financially, but also, that your church will grow spiritually and in community and will be more equipped and excited than ever about doing God’s will through the works of your church.
