MOTC Outreach

Image (2).jpg

MOTC is more than a retreat ministry, it is a community of people committed to serving others and sharing the hope of Jesus Christ.Our ministry is strengthened by volunteers from parishes and faith communities throughout the Archdiocese of San Antonio who generously give their time, talents, and hearts to serve. Volunteers play an important role in the MOTC experience as retreat team members, mentors, prayer partners, and encouragers.Their presence is a powerful reminder that restoration happens through community. By coming alongside individuals with compassion, without judgment, and with a willingness to listen, our volunteers help create an environment where participants feel seen, valued, and supported.​MOTC also seeks to build meaningful relationships with churches, community organizations, justice partners, and other organizations that share our desire to bring hope and positive change to individuals and families.Together, we are living out the call to serve, creating pathways to restoration, and building a community where faith, hope, and second chances can flourish.

How MOTC Is Supported

The Ministry of the Third Cross (MOTC) is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization sustained through the generosity of individuals, churches, community partners, and fundraising efforts. MOTC is not affiliated with any single parish, church, or individual benefactor. Instead, our ministry is made possible by a community of supporters who believe in the power of faith, restoration, and transformation.

How We Raise Funds

  • Individual & Community Giving – Donations from individuals, churches, organizations, and community supporters provide essential funding throughout the year.

  • Retreat-Specific Fundraising – Each retreat is led by a Director who takes responsibility for raising the funds needed to make their retreat possible.

 

The average cost to host a retreat ranges from $8,000 to $15,000, covering essential expenses such as meals, materials, lodging, worship resources, and follow-up programming.
