Our Mission
To Build up Christendom
Civitas Dei exists to strategically build up intentional Catholic communities across America. We do this by promoting and integrating Catholic culture and values into the experience of your town’s social and economic life.
Our Model
The Civitas Township
A Civitas Township is a hub of Catholic life in a metro area that is organized by Civitas Dei and comprised of local partners and supporters who work together to build and promote a distinct, vibrant, and sincere Catholic culture and community. Through strategic business acquisition and small business equity, diocesan and parochial activity, real estate, and urban engagement, Civitas Dei connects with people who can help turn their town or city into a thriving, beautiful, and Catholic place to live.
Business
Catholic-owned trades & local commerce.
Real Estate
Homes & storefronts in walkable proximity.
Culture
Processions, feasts, fraternal life.
A town where the bells ring, the streets are beautiful, the businesses are Catholic, and the faith is alive.
