Partners in Mission Conference 2025
A shared mission brings Catholic schools together. It’s their stories that keep it alive.
Strategic Partnership
This June, we were in Boston for the Partners in Mission Summer Institute — the annual gathering where enrollment directors, advancement professionals, and school leaders come together to sharpen what they do.
What Partners in Mission Does
It breaks my heart every time you hear a Catholic school is closing. And it has happened far too frequently.
Zane Gizzi, Partner, Partners in Mission
Partners in Mission provides year-round counsel across five pillars: advancement, enrollment management, leadership and governance coaching, strategic planning, and executive search. The Summer Institute each June is where ideas get sharpened — but the real work happens in the ongoing relationship between their team and the schools they serve.
If I didn’t have Partners in Mission — if I didn’t have these folks cheering me on and supporting me along the way — I don’t think that we as a school would have achieved the success that we did.
Kathleen Casey, Senior Partner, Partners in Mission
Results like this one: a school that came in with a $32 million campaign goal left with a $38 million goal — and secured a $5 million gift, the largest in its history, from two brothers who believed enough to give $2.5 million each.
Where Vidigami Comes In
The tools that help a school raise $38 million are not the same tools that help families feel connected, or that remind alumni why their school still matters to them. Vidigami fills that second role — a living archive of photos organized by student and year, built so that the moments Catholic schools create every day don’t disappear into a folder no one opens.
The schools that thrive long-term are the ones that tell their story continuously — not just during a campaign. Vidigami is the infrastructure behind that kind of storytelling.
Partners in Mission is about making sure that Catholic educational institutions are here for generations to come.
Dr. Adam Ehrmantraut, Partner, Partners in Mission
