St. John Paul II University Parish

John Paul II University Parish in Denton, Texas, serves the students of two schools, the University of North Texas and Texas Woman’s University. After 30 years as a Catholic center, the community expanded to become a full-fledged university parish. This change spurred tremendous growth. Student attendance at Sunday Mass doubled, and the number of students actively engaged during the week quadrupled. But the growth came with a cost – overcrowding. Wall-to-wall Sunday Masses had to be moved into a non-denominational chapel. To sustain the parish’s growth, leadership partnered with the Steier Group for a capital campaign. With some money already saved in a building fund, the parish found that building a new pastoral center was an achievable goal. A grant challenge helped provide early fundraising momentum. Through a strong communications plan, Catholics of Denton banded together to raise enough to build the pastoral center. Parishioners and students are now celebrating Mass in their beautiful, larger church.

A Customized Approach

We founded our firm on the belief that the best capital campaign is one that is customized and executed by one team, under one roof. When you hire the Steier Group, you eliminate the need to contract with additional vendors for services like copywriting, graphic design, grant writing, video production, website development or wealth screening. We reject the one-size-fits-all approach to fundraising and embrace every opportunity to design a capital campaign plan that will maximize our client’s fundraising potential.
