St. Felix Catholic Church

What St. Felix Catholic Church does

St. Felix Catholic Church is a non-profit Catholic parish established in 1858 in Wabasha, Minnesota, operating as part of the combined "Wabasha Kellogg Parishes" arrangement with St. Agnes Catholic Church in Kellogg. The parish falls under the spiritual and administrative oversight of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester and serves registered parishioners and visitors in the two small communities through Catholic worship, sacraments, and faith formation. Its core deliverables are weekly and weekday Mass services (Saturday 4:30pm and Sunday 9:30am at St. Felix; Sunday 8:00am and Wednesday 8:00am at St. Agnes), sacramental preparation (Baptism, OCIA/RCIA, Marriage, Anointing of the Sick), reconciliation, and faith formation programs for K-10 students. The parish also operates (or closely coordinates with) St. Felix Catholic School, a Pre-K through 6th grade institution, and supports ancillary organizations including Knights of Columbus Council #881, Serra Club, and 1891 Financial Life.

The parish operates from a 500-seat church building constructed in 1893, with a small staff of approximately six to eight full-time equivalents including a pastor, permanent deacon, administrative assistant, finance officer, faith formation director, and maintenance director. Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary mechanisms: weekly envelope and plate collections, online giving via the ParishSoft platform, a parish-run capital campaign routed through the Catholic Foundation of Southern Minnesota, and the annual diocesan Catholic Ministries Appeal (with 2026 goals of $30,291 for St. Felix and $8,603 for St. Agnes). Communications are conducted through the parish website, printed weekly bulletins, an events calendar, and digital outreach.

The technology stack is minimal and off-the-shelf: WeConnect by LPi for the website and bulletin publishing, ParishSoft for online donations, and standard email and phone channels. No proprietary technology, mobile application, AI/ML components, or data analytics platforms are in use. Customer/constituent relationships are managed through parishioner registration, sacramental records, and personal outreach by clergy and staff. As a small rural parish, St. Felix operates a community-led go-to-market model rather than a commercial one, with growth defined by sacramental participation, faith formation enrollment, and stewardship giving rather than market share.
