Vision

To see Catholics fully engaged in their faith and joyfully fulfilling the unique purpose God has for their lives.


Mission

To inspire and encourage Catholics to discover the richness and fullness of the faith so they may live it vibrantly on a daily basis. We seek to create a climate that encourages faith formation through engaging and practical learning experiences. We pray everyone who is touched by the ministry will achieve spiritual growth, a deeper commitment to the living God, and a shared enthusiasm for our Catholic faith.


Core Values

  • Based on Scripture, church Tradition and the magisterium to be fully Catholic.
  • Rooted in the Eucharist and led by the Holy Spirit.
  • Leading through service in the example of Jesus Christ in a spirit of love for the Lord and love for others.
  • Spreading the Gospel and striving to fulfill our role as members of the Living Body of Christ.
  • Inspired by the Word of God and attentive to the challenges of our time, we are committed to the spiritual growth and faith formation of all the community.
  • Sharing Christ’s love through joyful witness and selfless stewardship.
  • Praising God gratefully for all opportunities and challenges within the ministry for they both provide possibilities for growth.
  • Trusting God to lead the ministry and provide the resources to meet the needs of the ministry according to his plan.


Our Name

As a result of traveling through our faith lives, we realized that there is no purpose to a journey without a destination. By using a Compass, we can stay on the right path (living our lives here on earth in faith and joy) and arrive at the desired destination (life with Christ forever).


Our Partners

Operating as a 501c(3) organization, Compass Catholic Ministries is supported primarily through donations provided by individuals and parishes. The organization is completely staffed by volunteers who generously offer their time, talent and/or treasure to support the mission of Compass Catholic Ministries.


About the Founders

Over 25 years ago, Jon tried to start a business, which was a complete failure! After 5 years we had lost over $250,000. All of our IRAs and short-term savings were spent to make up for lost income. When the money ran out we turned to our credit cards – and ran up about $35,000 in credit card debt, in addition to having two car loans and a home mortgage. We were struggling with our finances and that led to great tension within our marriage. Read More >>
