Three years ago, Paradisus Dei launched the Lift the Spire Campaign with a bold and prayerful goal: to raise $12 million in support of our mission and enable us to help more families discover the superabundance of God in their lives.
Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our donors, that vision has become a reality.
Today, we are in the home stretch of this campaign—having raised nearly all of our goal, with $180,000 remaining. But more importantly, we are already witnessing the profound impact of what this campaign has made possible.
What Your Support Has Accomplished
Because of you, Paradisus Dei has been able to strategically grow its team, and greatly widen its reach in ways that were not possible just a few years ago.
- Thousands of Lives Transformed
Through That Man Is You! and She Shall Be Called Woman (our program for women that was launched almost two years ago), tens of thousands of men and women have encountered Christ more deeply leading to stronger marriages, renewed families, and vibrant parish communities.
- Expansion Into New Communities
Your support has allowed us to bring our programs to new parishes and dioceses across the world, reaching individuals who are searching for purpose, clarity, and authentic community. Our programs are now being hosted in more than 1,200 parishes across the U.S. and abroad – an all-time high for our ministry.
- Formation of Missionary Leaders
The ongoing development of our Missionaries to the Family (MttF) program is helping to raise up couples who are equipped to evangelize, lead, and serve their communities in powerful and lasting ways. Over the last seven years, more than 250 couples have completed their one year of formation and have been commissioned as missionary couples.
- Released a New Opportunity for Growing Holy Families
As part of Missionaries to the Family, this past year we also successfully produced an excellent nine-episode video series called The Art of Catholic Family Life and made it available to the entire Paradisus Dei network.
- Deeper and more Faithful Prayer Lives
Our beautiful Mysteries of the Rosary video series, created over the last several years, has enhanced the prayers lives of thousands of individuals across the world and brought them closer to our Lord and His Blessed Mother. It has provided deeply reflective insights into the key moments in the life of Jesus Christ and transformative personal stories from clergy, religious and laity. The series also offers breathtaking scenery, illuminating sacred art, and inspiring music including footage and access to many of the most sacred sites in Christianity where Heaven came down and kissed the earth.
- Strengthening Our Foundation
The Lift the Spire Campaign has also provided the stability needed to invest in additional content development, leadership formation, and our infrastructure—ensuring that this mission continues to grow for years to come.
Why This Matters
We live in a time when families are under tremendous pressure. Many men and women are searching—for meaning, for connection, for truth.
Paradisus Dei exists to meet that need.
And because of your generosity, we are able to respond—not just today, but well into the future.
The Final Step
As we approach the conclusion of the $12 million Lift the Spire Campaign, we find ourselves incredibly close to the finish line.
Just $180,000 remains. Your support of any of our programs will move us closer to our goal.
This final phase is not simply about reaching a financial goal—it is about fully realizing the vision that so many of you have already made possible.
An Invitation
If you have already supported this campaign, please accept our deepest gratitude. You have helped build something that is changing lives.
If you have been considering a gift—or feel called to help bring this effort to completion—now is a meaningful time to do so as we wish to complete the campaign on schedule by June 30, 2026.
Your support at this moment will help ensure that Paradisus Dei continues to grow, to reach more families, and to carry out its mission with strength and clarity.
What began as a bold vision is now a living reality—one built on faith, generosity, and a shared commitment to strengthening families.
With your help, we will cross the finish line and continue this mission for generations to come.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Together, we will Lift the Spire!
