It’s a spiritual home, a mission field, and a cornerstone of the community. With the right leadership and operational support, it can be financially strong, mission-driven, and ready to serve generations to come.
Parishes thrive when pastors are free to focus on spiritual leadership. Yet many are burdened by the complex demands of budgeting, facilities, staffing, and day-to-day operations—areas few priests are trained to navigate.
Lumen Cor Mission was founded to bridge that gap.
Founded by a Catholic Deacon, Lumen Cor Mission provides Fractional COO leadership with a faith-rooted, mission-first approach. We understand parish life from the inside out—combining operational expertise with a pastoral heart. Our work honors the sacred mission of the Church while strengthening its ability to serve through structure, clarity, and sustainability.
Whether through ongoing executive partnership, project-based strategic support, or hands-on team formation, we take on the operational load—so pastors can focus on their true calling.
At the core of our approach is the Lumen Model Scorecard, a signature tool that helps parishes measure and manage health across every aspect of parish life—not just finances.
This model is more than a dashboard. It’s a framework for renewal—a strategic pathway to align mission, operations, and long-term vitality.
And with the upcoming Lumen Cor Institute, parishes will have access to on-demand resources, tools, and training to implement best practices independently or in partnership with us.

Deacon Jules Breaux,
Founder of Lumen Cor Mission
As a husband, father, and Catholic Deacon I’ve seen firsthand the beauty—and the burden—of parish leadership. Too often, pastors are stretched thin, juggling the sacred work of ministry with the complex demands of operations, finances, staffing, and facilities.
My background consisting of nearly two decades in organizational leadership and operations gave me a front-row seat to the kind of clarity and strategy that helps institutions thrive. But my heart has always been with the Church.
Lumen Cor Mission was born from that intersection—a desire to serve the Church not only spiritually, but structurally. To help parishes thrive through faithful, mission-aligned operational support.
To let pastors be pastors.
