Two by Two

A Premier Society

What is Two by Two?

Two by Two is Catholic Extension Society’s premier leadership annual giving society. Donors of this society join with us in building communities of faith by making at least one $1,000 gift each year to Catholic Extension Society. This esteemed group of individuals represents our most engaged, dedicated, and loyal annual giving donors.

“Catholic Extension Society is another expression of community.  Integrating faith into all aspects of our lives takes us out of the four walls of church.”

— Dan Johnston, Two by Two donor
