About Catholic Owned
Building the New
Catholic Economy®
A marketplace and business directory built by and for the Catholic community — connecting faithful shoppers with the businesses that share their values.
Our Mission
A Marketplace with a Soul
Catholic Owned exists because we believe commerce is never just commerce. Every purchase is a small vote for what kind of world you want to live in, for what kind of businesses you want to see flourish, and for what kind of stewardship you practice over the material goods God has entrusted to you.
For too long, Catholic makers, shopkeepers, and service providers have been scattered across the internet with no way to find each other — and no way for faithful shoppers to find them. Catholic Owned is the gathering place. A single marketplace where every vendor has been verified, every business has a home, and every dollar you spend keeps the Catholic economy strong.
We’re building this together — with vendors who want to serve a community that shares their faith, with shoppers who want to live out their values at checkout, and with parishes who see in this platform a way to strengthen the bonds of their community.
What We Stand For
Four Commitments
Faithful Community
Every business on Catholic Owned is verified Catholic-owned or Catholic-aligned. When you shop here, you're supporting your brothers and sisters in Christ — and they're serving you with values that match your own.
Authentic Craft
We celebrate the goodness of well-made things. Rosaries, sacred art, devotionals, practical household goods — all made by people who care about what they produce and who receives it.
Economic Solidarity
The New Catholic Economy™ means keeping our dollars circulating among businesses that share our values, parishes we care about, and families building a better future.
Stewardship
We take seriously our obligation to vendors, to buyers, and to the broader Church. A modest commission lets us keep the lights on and grow, without extracting from the people who make this marketplace real.
Our Story
How We Got Here
Catholic Owned began with a simple observation: Catholic business owners were struggling to reach the very people who’d most want to support them. Meanwhile, faithful shoppers had no reliable way to find vendors who shared their values.
Today Catholic Owned brings together hundreds of verified Catholic businesses in one place — from sacred art and liturgical goods to everyday services and consumer products. Each vendor is part of a community; each purchase strengthens the whole.
