Notre Dame Catholic Church

What Notre Dame Catholic Church does

Notre Dame Catholic Church is a single-site Catholic parish operating in Kerrville, Texas, under the canonical authority of the Archdiocese of San Antonio. Founded in 1891 as St. Mary's and renamed by Fr. Henry Kemper upon his arrival in 1911, the parish traces 130+ years of continuous service to the Kerrville Catholic community. Today it operates from a campus at 909 Main Street and offers the seven Catholic sacraments (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Marriage, and Holy Orders), with multiple weekend and daily Masses in English and Spanish, perpetual Eucharistic Adoration in a dedicated chapel, and an OCIA program for adult initiation. The parish runs a portfolio of faith formation programs across all age groups — Children's Faith Formation (Discover!), Montessori-based Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, EDGE middle school ministry, Life Teen high school ministry, Confirmation preparation, ACTS retreats, and adult Bible studies — under a Director of Faith Formation and a Coordinator of Youth Ministry.

The parish is economically sustained by five primary revenue streams: recurring tithes and weekly offerings, online donations through an eCatholic-powered giving portal (with dedicated funds for flood relief, building maintenance, endowment, memorial, and school support), tuition from affiliated Notre Dame School (K-8) supplemented by the Notre Dame School Endowment Fund managed by the Catholic Community Foundation and Sendero Wealth Management, fundraising events (golf tournaments, BBQ plate sales, trivia nights, car washes, NDS Festival), and sacramental fees. The parish operates ~14 staff plus a pastor and four deacons, and partners with organizations including the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Knights of Columbus Council #6409, Life Teen International, Schreiner University, and Catholic Charities of San Antonio. Outreach to the broader Kerrville community includes food assistance, thrift shop operations, and a flood relief infrastructure built in response to the 2025 Kerr County flood.

Notre Dame also operates two wholly-owned educational subsidiaries: Notre Dame School (K-8) at 907 Main Street and Our Lady of the Hills college-preparatory high school. Its digital presence runs on the eCatholic church management platform, with Flocknote for parish communications, We Adore Him for adoration scheduling, FORMED for Catholic on-demand content, and Cloudflare for web security. The parish's go-to-market motion is community-led — relying on parish word-of-mouth, a Welcoming Committee, ministries, and an active presence in Kerrville community life to attract and retain parishioners rather than paid marketing. As a private nonprofit religious organization, Notre Dame does not publish financial statements and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
