“The light project's annual cornhole tournament, "collars & community," is a unique and engaging event that brings together community members in a fun and competitive atmosphere. The tournament fosters connections between clergy and laypeople, raises funds for the light project's initiatives (such as community outreach, podcast productions, prayer tools, and evenings of reflection), and raises awareness about the organization's goals and values, emphasizing community involvement and the use of individual talents for the greater good. Each year, we serve 125-150 people at the "collars & community" event, igniting their faith while celebrating the supportive community that drives our mission.”

“The light project has successfully engaged in speaking at various events, like the st. Edward staff retreat, with the primary goal of evangelizing and educating the community on utilizing their god-given gifts. Notably in 2023, we participated and partnered with elevare intl in "charisms & culture," a retreat-style workshop designed to rejuvenate and empower both parishes and pastors, helping them to build dynamic and thriving communities. Our efforts have not only enriched personal spiritual growth but also strengthened the bonds within the community, promoting a culture of mutual support and collective purpose. Through faith-based speaking engagements of this kind, we seek to inspire communities to recognize and develop their unique talents, emphasizing the importance of using these gifts to glorify god. Our audiences range from 35 people to 150 at these events.”

“Enlightened nights, hosted approximately 4-5 times a year by the light project, are evening events designed to deepen spiritual understanding and foster an authentic faith community. These gatherings offer meaningful reflection, community building, and faith-based educational content in warm, hospitable spaces, inspiring participants to grow in their faith and connect with others.”

“The igivecatholic campaign is a crowdfunding initiative held on giving tuesday to support catholic parishes, schools, and nonprofit ministries. It encourages catholics to give back to their communities. The light project participated by creating a profile to share our missions and fgoals. Overall, igivecatholic fosters a spirit of generosity and community support within the catholic church.”
