St. John 23rd Catholic Parish

What St. John 23rd Catholic Parish does

St. John 23rd Catholic Parish is a private, non-profit Catholic parish serving approximately 1,200 families across Port Washington and Saukville in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin. It was formed on July 1, 2016 through the merger of four legacy entities — Immaculate Conception, St. Mary's, St. Peter of Alcantara, and Port Catholic School — under the authority of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. The parish operates across three physical campuses (St. Peter of Alcantara at 1800 N. Wisconsin St., St. Mary's at 451 N. Johnson St., and Immaculate Conception at 140 W. Church St., Saukville) and is led by Pastor Father Matthew Kirk with a staff of approximately 14 including directors of administrative services, faith formation, communications/stewardship, music/liturgy, and administrative assistants.

The parish's core offerings are weekly and daily Catholic Mass services, the seven sacraments (Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Marriage, Anointing of the Sick, Reconciliation, Holy Orders), comprehensive faith formation programming for K-10 students plus Confirmation preparation and Adult Formation/OCIA, the St. John XXIII School (preschool through 8th grade, ~200 students), music ministry, youth mission trips, and charitable outreach via the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Ancillary services include cemetery operations across three parish cemeteries, a parish mobile app, and a planned-giving / donor-advised fund program. Underlying technology is standard parish SaaS: PushPay for digital giving and the mobile app, Church Community Builder (ParishStaq) for member management, registration, and stewardship pledge forms, SignUpGenius for volunteer sign-ups, YouTube for Mass livestreaming, and Google Maps for campus location display.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: (1) recurring stewardship giving from parishioner households via bank draft or envelopes, (2) one-time special collections and sacramental fees (Mass stipends at $20 per intention, wedding fees of $250, funeral stipends of $150, memorial candles at $10, and bell tower song dedications at $10), (3) tuition from St. John XXIII School families, and (4) event-based fundraising (golf outings, Fish Days food tent, Catholic Women's Society and Men's Society events). The go-to-market model is community-led: growth and retention depend on in-person Mass attendance, parish events, faith formation enrollment, and word-of-mouth invitation within the local Catholic community. The parish is governed by a Pastoral Council and Finance Council with active lay leadership and volunteer engagement across multiple ministry areas.

Direct peers

• Holy Family Catholic Parish (Whitefish Bay, WI): Catholic parish within the Archdiocese of Milwaukee serving a comparable suburban Wisconsin community with Mass, sacraments, faith formation, and a parish school. Similar operational model, revenue streams (stewardship + tuition), and archdiocesan governance structure make it a closely comparable peer.
• St. John Vianney Parish (Brookfield, WI): Suburban Milwaukee-area Catholic parish in the same archdiocese with multi-campus worship, Catholic school, faith formation, and community outreach. Operates under the same archdiocesan policies and serves a similar demographic profile.
• St. Anthony on the Lake (Pewaukee/Hartland, WI): Larger Catholic parish within the Archdiocese of Milwaukee operating a parish school and comprehensive faith formation programs. Comparable in mission, sacramental offerings, school operation, and stewardship-based funding model.
• St. Jude Parish (Wauwatosa, WI): Catholic parish in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee with comparable sacramental, formation, and school programming. Similar suburban Wisconsin demographic and archdiocesan governance framework.
• St. Bernard Parish (Wauwatosa, WI): Catholic parish in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee serving a similar suburban community with Mass, sacraments, faith formation, and parish school. Closely comparable in operating model, scale, and revenue mix.

Broad incumbents

• Archdiocese of Milwaukee: Parent ecclesiastical authority governing St. John XXIII and ~200 other parishes in southeastern Wisconsin. Sets policy, allocates clergy, manages school system oversight, and consolidates archdiocesan-wide resources — relevant as the structural incumbent for benchmarking and governance.
• Catholic Extension Society: National Catholic nonprofit that supports mission parishes and faith communities across the U.S. with funding, formation, and infrastructure support. Comparable as a broader institutional context for parish sustainability, fundraising, and capacity-building.
• Catholic Charities USA: National network of Catholic social service agencies. Comparable in mission-adjacent outreach (St. Vincent de Paul, food security, poverty relief) that St. John XXIII performs at a local level, and useful for benchmarking parish-affiliated social ministries.

Others

• National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA): National membership organization supporting Catholic K-12 schools. Relevant as the industry association and benchmarking body for St. John XXIII School, given the school's role as a core operational and revenue driver.
• PushPay: Digital giving and parish engagement platform used by St. John XXIII. Relevant as the underlying technology vendor — useful for benchmarking digital stewardship capture rates and engagement metrics against other Catholic parishes using the same platform.
