Our Vision

We envision a world where historic Catholic churches, monasteries, and convents—entrusted to the care of the Church—are preserved and renewed as living sanctuaries of worship, prayer, and Catholic community.

Through the faith, generosity, and dedicated service of the faithful, and in close collaboration with diocesan leadership, we seek to lovingly restore these sacred places and their patrimony, so they may continue to give glory to God and nourish the spiritual lives of future generations.

Our Mission

We are committed to supporting bishops restore historic Catholic churches under their care where the faithful attend Mass

Through crowdfunding and volunteer service, we hope to unite all Catholics in a shared mission to support these local communities

In addition, we seek to safeguard sacred patrimony affected by a church closure by establishing dedicated warehouses where these holy objects can be restored and available for reintegration into Historical sites.

At the heart of Ave Maria Restoration burns a fervent love for Our Lord Jesus Christ (Sacred Heart) and a profound devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary (Crown at the top of the Coat of Arms)

We also draw inspiration from the fearless courage of St. Joan of Arc (Sword in the middle of the Coat of Arms) as we remain steadfast in our service to the Catholic Church (Keys of St. Peter)
