“Long before this type of process was widely used in the Church, Gary successfully blended his extensive corporate experience with his deep Catholic faith to lead our visioning team through a multi-year discussion and discernment process. His style is strong and guiding, yet non-intrusive in the movement of God’s Spirit, leading us through a prayerful experience of being Church while laying the groundwork for the future of our large, complex and vibrant parish. Ten years later, we are still “harvesting” the benefits.”

“Several years ago there was a need for ecumenical community ministries organization in our fairly affluent part of the city. Martini & Associates developed a process for six of the congregations to work together in promoting and implementing such a project. Today that Eastern Area Community Ministries encompasses forty-three churches and is now the largest such organization in our city.”

“Martini & Associates gave us a helpful, engaging, hands-on process with easy-to-use tools to develop and implement our parish’s Five Year Plan, Heritage & Vision 2010. We’ve been able to evaluate it and to begin to roll-it over to 2015. As many people as possible were involved and came out of the process with a common sense of excitement about our future.”
