Kearns & Associates separated themselves from the other firms by providing a team of experts who have a long history of success in working with Catholic parishes. They kept us on track throughout the process and their professionalism and work ethic played a key role in our success.

There are many tensions in the art of shepherding in the life of the church today. Not least among them is the burden of meeting the fiscal demands of a parish when issues facing the faithful are so demanding and challenging. John Kearns & Associates has lifted one of those burdens from our shoulders. They mentored a magnificently successful drive at the Cathedral Community and made it so easy for us.

Thank you for your guiding Holy Family’s Our Faith, Our Family, Our Future capital campaign. We have raised almost $3million for projects in both our church and school and these results have exceeded all expectations. John Kearns & Associates’ ability to work well with Catholic parishes was apparent from the start and the approach they provided set us up for a great success.

Although we considered several national companies, John Kearns & Associates was our unanimous choice. They distinguished themselves from other fundraising firms and provide one of the highest levels of fundraising consulting available to Catholic parishes.

I would like to thank John Kearns & Associates for your support and direction during our very successful capital campaign here at Holy Family Parish. Our goal was to raise $2.5 million to help with a variety of projects including building a new rectory. I am very pleased to report that we have exceeded that goal by raising over $2.6 million.

John Kearns & Associates delivered the support needed to make this campaign easy on our staff. Their organizational plan and abilities were key, and they always had everything in place exactly when needed. They took the guesswork out of fundraising and made the process flow so smoothly for all involved.

Pastor – Holy Family Church, Syracuse, NY

Working with John Kearns & Associates we surpassed our $800,000 goal. What makes this especially pleasing is that we went over goal without putting unwanted pressure on our parishioners. Thank you for keeping it low key but successful. Kearns & Associates brought a wealth of talent, skill and sensitivity to our campaign. They quickly earned our trust and were the perfect strategic partner

Father Henry Pedzich
Pastor- The Church of St. Michael & St. Peter, Syracuse, NY

I initially thought that our goal of $3 million for renovations to our Church, school and 40 acre campus seemed very lofty. We now have gifts totaling $4.5 million. These results far exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Although we considered various professional firms to assist in our efforts, John Kearns & Associates stood out as the most qualified due to strong references and a long track record of success with other Catholic Parishes. Clearly, we made the right decision.
