  2. $41,814 spent. Eucharistic Adoration: Spirit Filled Hearts has partnered with E-Catholic LLC, to have the "Adore Movement" national campaign, impacting 800 Dioceses and 8,000 parishes. The focus of the movement is to enhance Eucharistic Adoration knowledge and participation.
  3. $14,011 spent. The Life Project was a partnership with Chris Stefanick and his Ministry, Real Life Catholic. The concept was to create a new movement of small group meetings focusing on evangelization.
  4. $270,150 spent. Various expenses incurred during the year to support all of the ministry's varied programs. These expenses are not allocated to specific programs because the cost to identify and track those program activities to a level of reporting detail would divert time and attention away from the ministry's primary goal to Spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. Some of the program service activities include ministry activities & events, social media, development activities, Diocese of Orange programs, healing and teaching services, prayer meetings, international outreach, etc.
