Parish Partners Program
A Partnership for Beauty, Mission, and Stewardship
Bring the beauty of sacred art to your parish while generating meaningful revenue for your community.
Dear Reverend Father,
At the St. Stephen Catholic Arts Guild, we believe that “Beauty will save the world.” Based in Bentonville, Arkansas, our Guild is dedicated to revitalizing the Catholic artistic tradition while providing practical support to the modern parish.
We invite you to join us as a Parish Partner—a collaborative initiative designed to enrich your community’s spiritual life while providing a sustainable, passive fundraising stream to support your parish’s most pressing needs.
Why Become a Parish Partner?
Running a parish involves a constant balance between spiritual ministry and temporal needs. Our program is designed to be turnkey and zero-cost, offering your parish a way to generate funds without adding to your staff’s workload or asking for direct donations from the pulpit.
1. Passive, No-Cost Fundraising
Through our curated patronage of sacred art, a portion of every sponsored artwork attributed to your parish is returned directly to you.
- •No Upfront Costs: Your parish never has to buy or install the art. You just need to provide the wall space.
- •No Logistics: We handle all shipping, handling, and customer service.
- •Consistent Revenue: Enjoy a year-round stream of income to fund building repairs, youth ministry, or social outreach.
2. Address Unmet Needs
Every parish has a “wish list”—the roof repair that’s been delayed, the scholarship fund for summer camp, or the local food pantry that needs restocking. Parish Partner funds are unrestricted, allowing you to direct the revenue exactly where your community needs it most.
3. Evangelization Through Beauty
The Guild provides your parishioners with access to high-quality, authentic Catholic art that reflects the “True, the Good, and the Beautiful.” By encouraging the presence of sacred art in the domestic church—the home—you are deepening the faith lives of your flock.
How It Works: Three Simple Steps
Enroll
Register your parish as an official Guild Partner. There is no fee to join.
Inform
We provide you with ready-to-use bulletin blurbs, social media graphics, and a unique parish identifier for patrons to select artwork on your walls.
Benefit
When your parishioners select artwork that is installed or will be installed in your facility, up to 50% of the proceeds are sent back to your parish on a quarterly basis.
A Mission of Stewardship and Solidarity
The St. Stephen Catholic Arts Guild is more than an art provider; we are a community of creators and believers. By partnering with us, you are not just raising funds—you are supporting parishioners who want to honor their loved ones while helping to restore the visual heritage of our Church.
“In the creative act, the artist is in a special way ‘the image of God, the Creator.’”
— St. John Paul II, Letter to Artists
