I just wanted to express my warm gratitude for our work together which has made such an impact on me and on St. Albert the Great University Parish. Four years ago, as I started this assignment, I could not have imagined being where we are today. In just a little more than 2 years since hiring Petrus and hiring a full-time development director, we’ve seen very substantial growth in overall giving, total donors, and total number of gifts. We have built relationships with a new Advisory Council and hundreds of alumni, parents and other supporters. We’re now in the planning phase of a capital campaign and I see a lot of opportunity in the coming years.

I am grateful to everyone from Petrus that I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Our first Leadership Council meeting this spring took some work but turned out to be a great success. Also, we raised $13,000 from our Senior Gift program and almost $12,000 from our matching funds weekend in April. We are working the plan and will continue to get better! Thank you for the work you do helping to keep young college kids fruitful and Catholic.

The Annual Manual from Petrus is a game changer for our development program. Petrus provided us with a ton of valuable information and resources on day one and our consultant walked with us and answered all of our questions along the way. It’s a complete toolbox for development success!
