Our Vision

We pray and work for a world where historic Catholic churches, monasteries, and convents are preserved, renewed, and once again filled with prayer and purpose. Through the faith, generosity, and hands of the faithful, we seek to lovingly restore these holy places and all their patrimony to be places of contemplation and flourishing Catholic life where future generations give glory to God!

Our Mission

Ave Maria Restoration’s primary mission is to prevent the closure of historic Catholic churches around the world where Mass is still offered.

In addition, we seek to safeguard sacred patrimony that would otherwise be discarded by establishing dedicated warehouses where these holy objects can be restored and available for reintegration into Historical sites.

Finally, for historic churches, monasteries and convents without an active community, we adopt and restore them as well with the goal that they remain places of pilgrimage, beauty and sacred memory for the faithful.
