Christ the King Parish

What Christ the King Parish does

Christ the King Parish operates as Stella Maris Catholic Parish, a multi-site Catholic parish nonprofit serving the Wisconsin communities of Monona, McFarland, and Cottage Grove under the Diocese of Madison. The organization operates four worship locations — Christ the King Catholic Church (McFarland), Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church (Monona), St. Patrick Catholic Church (Cottage Grove), and Mary Morning Star Chapel (Monona) — along with the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic School (3K through 8th grade) and the Shrine of Our Lady of the Green Scapular. The parish delivers Catholic worship, sacraments (Baptism, Reconciliation, First Communion, Confirmation, Marriage), daily and Sunday Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, and comprehensive Discipleship Formation across all age groups from preschool through adult.

The organization's underlying technology stack consists of standard SaaS tools rather than proprietary systems: eCatholic powers the parish website (myparish.com), FACTS Management handles school administration and tuition billing with flexible payment plans, Pushpay processes online giving, AdorationPro schedules Eucharistic Adoration slots, and Flocknote distributes e-bulletins. Marketing and community outreach run through YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, in-person community events (fish fries, potlucks, parish directory photo sessions), and word-of-mouth referrals from existing parishioners and school families.

Revenue is generated through Sunday offertory collections across the three main churches, K-8 school tuition (with reduced rates for Catholic students and financial assistance available), a Religious Education Endowment (with a 2026 distribution of $77,200) and a separate capital/projects endowment established in 2010, planned giving instruments (bequests, charitable gift annuities, IRA rollovers, gifts of stock/bonds/life insurance), votive candles at the Shrine ($10 per candle), custom replica Mary statues ($75 each), and the RaiseRight gift card fundraising program whose kickbacks can fund parish operations or be applied to school tuition. Pricing for school tuition is not publicly listed and is provided upon inquiry. The parish does not disclose consolidated revenue figures and operates as a private nonprofit religious organization with no parent company, no institutional investors, and no acquisition history.
