    Catholic owned: building the new Catholic economy

    Dear friends. This is a bonus episode that I wanted to get out quickly. Brooke and her husband Matteo, a homeschool family, started a business last year that gathers Catholic business owners under one platform to make supporting the values that we want to uphold easier for both buyer and seller.

    They've developed a website and an app to make both local and national shopping ethical and simple. Their Christmastide shopping guide is available when you download the app or sign up to the website. It's so lovely, a shopping guide and an Advent and Christmas family devotional in one. Such a great way to support Catholic business.
