Meet Our Team

The Catholic Foundation of Southern Minnesota is led by a team that lives here, serves here, and understands the real needs of our parishes and communities. Our work is simple at its core: to support you in your mission, not add more to your plate. We know your first responsibility is your ministry, so we make every financial conversation clear, accessible, and aligned with Catholic values—always with the goal of reducing, not increasing, the burden on you or your staff.

Our team is committed to being the kind of partner you can rely on: responsive, local, and genuinely invested in your parish’s well‑being. We take pride in building transparent, lasting relationships that respect your time and honor the mission you serve. On this page, you’ll meet the people who accompany you in that work. We are professionals who understand our communities, care deeply about the Church, and are here to help your parish thrive.
