About this Episode

When thousands of parishes are closing and fewer people identify with any faith, how can the Church not only survive—but thrive?

In this episode of Called, Fr. Mike Schmitz talks with Kevin Doyle, president of the Catholic Initiative, about a bold new approach to sustaining vibrant parishes and schools for generations to come. From restoring Detroit’s historic St. Anne’s Basilica to supporting under-resourced communities, the Catholic Initiative is reimagining what it means to invest in the future of the Church.

Discover how one man’s generosity sparked a movement of faith, service, and renewal—and how we’re all called to build something that lasts.
