The Patrimony Crisis

Protect · Restore · Renew

Across the world, Catholic communities still gather in faith within their sacred and historic patrimony, yet many of these churches, convents, and monasteries face neglect or closure.

Ave Maria Restoration is responding to this crisis by uniting Catholics everywhere to protect, restore, and renew our sacred inheritance.

Our Mission

Founded in Houston, Texas, Ave Maria Restoration is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose mission is to support Catholic communities around the world by providing financial resources to restore their historic churches, convents, monasteries, and sacred patrimony.

We believe in the power of collaboration and the impact of crowdfunding to respond to every dimension of the global patrimony crisis including revitalizing historic sacred sites as places of pilgrimage, prayer, and enduring Catholic heritage.
