Corpus Christi Catholic Parish

What Corpus Christi Catholic Parish does

Corpus Christi Catholic Parish is a non-profit Roman Catholic parish in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, founded in 1904 by 51 Catholic families on the west side of the bay who sought to avoid toll bridge costs to attend St. Joseph Church. The parish serves the broader Catholic faithful across Door County, Wisconsin, operating under the Diocese of Green Bay and accountable to the bishop. The parish is part of a quad-parish collaboration with St. Joseph, Holy Name of Mary, and Ss. Peter and Paul parishes, particularly for combined youth ministry programs covering Genesis (grades 1-5), Edge (middle school), and Life Teen (high school). The parish is affiliated with St. John Bosco Catholic School for K-8 Catholic education. Operations are currently led by Fr. Bill Brunner as Parish Administrator (installed June 28, 2026), with an approximately 9-10 person staff including priests, a business manager (Tony Klink), administrative coordinator (Sandy McGrath), maintenance lead (Kyle Starr), youth minister (Sarah Gavin), liturgy coordinator (Ben Tonner), faith formation coordinator (Laura Hoffman), and music director (Amanda Kuntz).

The parish's digital product surface centers on ccparish.net, powered by the eCatholic platform, which serves as the hub for mass times, sacraments, faith formation programs, youth ministry, ministries, event calendar, online giving, and member registration. This is supplemented by WeShare for online tithes and offerings, Flocknote for email/text communications, a quarterly CC Connections newsletter, and a weekly bulletin. An extensive audio and print archive of Sunday homilies dates back to 2017. Distribution of services occurs through in-person worship at Corpus Christi Church (811 W. Juniper St), online giving via WeShare, and a homebound Care Ministry that brings Communion to members who cannot attend. Additional facilities include the Parish Office at 25 N. Elgin Ave and a Faith Formation Center at the same address for the Genesis program.

The parish operates a non-transactional, donation-based revenue model with no fees charged for sacraments or most parish services. Revenue streams consist primarily of recurring voluntary tithes and offerings from parish members (collected during weekly services and online through WeShare), supplemented by stewardship programs, a Building and Maintenance Fund, and periodic capital campaigns for church improvements. Primary customer segments are parish members and local Catholic families seeking worship, sacraments, faith formation, and community fellowship, alongside wider community members who access programs such as the community dinner. Outreach is conducted through the website, Facebook, Flocknote email/text, weekly bulletin, quarterly CC Connections newsletter, YouTube channel, and an Instagram account (@sturg_youth_ministry) for youth ministry.
