"Petrus Development taught us how to define our missions, partner with others and transform our ministry.  Our yearly increased 50% in just three years, but more importantly, we were able to reach more students with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  I heartily recommend Petrus to Catholic campus ministries and to all those who seek to bring the Gospel to others with excellence."   Father Kevin R. Augustyn- Saint Mary Mother of God (Formerly with St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Center, University of Colorado - Boulder)
