Campanile Society
A leadership giving society of the Catholic Stewardship Appeal.
The Society now numbers 1,400 parishioners from across the ten-county archdiocese. These donors
choose to keep the needs of the greater Church among their charitable giving priorities by contributing
gifts of $1,000 or more annually to the Catholic Stewardship Appeal. Approximately 37%, or $2.9
million of all CSA revenue, comes from these generous donors. Society members share a goal with all
other donors to the Catholic Stewardship Appeal, that of helping to ensure the continuation of critical
CSA-funded ministries.
The word Campanile derives from the Italian campanile, from campana, meaning bell. Throughout time, campanile bells have rung out around the world, and within the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, calling all Catholics to join together as one in Christ. The resounding bells also extend an invitation to join a society that is committed to furthering the Church's work and mission in southeastern Wisconsin.
As a member of the Campanile Society, you play a vital role in helping to meet the needs of the wider Church. More than 680,000 Catholics and countless others are offered spiritual guidance, social support and fellowship in seeking God's light. As a member, you help ensure the continuation of critical ministries and programs that bring help, hope and healing to individuals, families, parishes, and schools.
Levels of giving
The Campanile Society offers four levels of giving designed to reflect your call to charitable giving and your current financial position.
