The Atonement Catholic Academy

What The Atonement Catholic Academy does

Our Lady of the Atonement Catholic Church is a private, nonprofit Catholic parish operating at 15415 Red Robin Road, San Antonio, Texas, under the canonical governance of the Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter. Founded in 1983 by Archbishop Patrick F. Flores, it was the first parish established under the Pastoral Provision for Anglican Common Identity usage, serving a community of former Anglicans seeking full communion with Rome while retaining elements of Anglican liturgical heritage codified in Divine Worship: The Missal. In 2017 the parish was incorporated into the Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter by decree of Pope Francis, joining 40+ Roman Catholic parishes and communities across the U.S. and Canada.

The organization operates two principal revenue lines: recurring parish donations and tithes from congregants, and tuition from The Atonement Academy, a PreK3 through Grade 12 Catholic school founded in 1994 that now enrolls over 400 students. The parish offers the seven sacraments, multiple Mass times, confession schedules, daily office, adoration, adult and children's religious education, sacramental preparation, and an extensive ministry ecosystem including CYO, Knights of Columbus, music programs, pro-life advocacy, and outreach groups such as St. Vincent de Paul. Distribution is local and physical, centered on the San Antonio campus, with supplementary digital reach via YouTube, Facebook, Flocknote email, and the Formed Catholic media platform.

The business model is community-led: growth comes from word-of-mouth referrals within the Catholic and Anglican-tradition community, retention of multi-generational parish families, and integration into the wider Ordinariate. The parish employs 37 people across staff roles supporting worship, education, and administration. As a nonprofit religious organization it does not publish revenue figures, has no outside funding rounds, and operates under the spiritual authority of the Vatican-established Ordinariate.
