How to Fund Materials

The Doors of Mercy program is not only a deeply enriching study of God’s covenants, it is also a powerful tool specifically designed as a parish-wide initiative.  

There’s an easy way to make it affordable, and even free for your parish.

Doors of Mercy is an affordably priced program. By establishing a program Registration Fee, your parish will be able to cover overhead costs of the program, while creating awareness and providing your parishioners with the program materials they need to have a transformational experience.

What the Parish needs for a Parish Group Study:

1. Banners (Indoor and Outdoor versions available)
2. Leader Pack (1 per parish)
3. Additional Leader Guides (1 Leader Guide for every 8-10 participants)

What the Participant needs:

 The Participant Registration Fee provides the group member with:

           1.  Their Study Guide
           2.  Their Streaming Video License

By creating a Registration Fee, the parish costs can be easily covered and even provide scholarships for those who need help with the cost.
