HOLY NAME OF JESUS CHURCH

What HOLY NAME OF JESUS CHURCH does

Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Parish (legal name: Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Parish), founded in 1925 in San Francisco's Outer Sunset District, is a Catholic parish operating under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of San Francisco. The parish serves registered parishioners, school families, and the broader Outer Sunset community through seven sacraments, daily and weekend Masses, faith formation programs, and pastoral outreach ministries. Its leadership is Fr. Cameron Faller (Pastor, installed September 22, 2024), with Kimberly Radavero managing parish operations and a staff of approximately 26 employees including clergy, school faculty, and program directors.

The parish operates a comprehensive vertical ecosystem comprising three wholly-owned operating subsidiaries: Holy Name of Jesus School (K-8 Catholic education serving approximately 370 students from San Francisco and San Mateo County), Holy Name of Jesus Preschool, and the Holy Name Conservatory of Music (private piano, violin, guitar, and voice lessons founded in 2006). Adjacent community programs include Children's Faith Formation (ages 6-14), Adult OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults), a dedicated Chinese Ministry (聖名堂華人牧靈組), Music Ministry, Grief & Consolation Ministry, and Homebound Ministry. Technology infrastructure is minimal and third-party: the parish website runs on eCatholic, communications go out via Flocknote, and Masses are live-streamed on YouTube and Facebook.

The revenue model is non-commercial and consists of voluntary parish donations and tithes (weekly envelopes and auto-donations), Mass Intentions ($10 per request), Archdiocesan Annual Appeal participation, school tuition (undisclosed), and Conservatory of Music lesson fees. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, with member acquisition through community presence, parish school as a feeder institution, word-of-mouth, and outreach through ministries including the Chinese Ministry. The parish owns facilities at 1555 39th Avenue (church and pastoral center), 3300 Lawton Street (school, preschool, Conservatory, and Flanagan Center), and the original 1926 church site at 38th Avenue between Irving and Judah Streets (now the school gym). No funding rounds, patents, or proprietary technology are disclosed.
