When Tradition Meets Transformation
The Opposite of Inefficiency: Saving $1.5M and Uniting 20+ Communities
Ever try merging 20 parishes, each with its own traditions, budgets, and, let’s be honest, inefficiencies? It’s like trying to get George, Jerry, Elaine, and Kramer to agree on a restaurant—nearly impossible. But this wasn’t just about spreadsheets or bank accounts. It was about uniting people behind a shared vision while cutting through the yada yada of inefficiency.
Key Outcomes
$1.5M saved and redirected to growth
Unified 20+ parishes with standardized operations
Empowered leaders and communities to thrive
The Problem
Too many systems, too little clarity, and a whole lot of waste.In one corner: $500K in overpayments for capital insurance (serenity now!).In another: $1M in unnecessary expenses.And all of it was holding back ministries from thriving.

The Solution
We did “the opposite” of inefficiency:
Standardized operations across 20+ parishes.
Created leadership teams to guide cultural integration.
Fixed broken financial processes to save $1.5M, reinvesting in growth.
Imagine turning a Costanza wallet (bloated and inefficient) into a sleek, streamlined system. That’s what we achieved.

Systems were built to last, and leaders embraced their roles with confidence.
