St. Joseph Vaz
Also known as José Vaz, Apostle of Sri Lanka, or Apostle of Ceylon.
St. Joseph Vaz was a Goan-born Indian priest of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri who, disguised as a beggar, secretly entered Dutch Calvinist-controlled Ceylon and ministered for twenty-four years to the persecuted Catholic remnant.
He learned Tamil and Sinhala, established a clandestine network of priests and lay catechists, and is credited with preserving the Catholic faith on the island during one of its most desperate periods. He is venerated as the Apostle of Sri Lanka.
"Christ is the only treasure that satisfies; let us seek Him alone."

Testimonials
We love to make you smile! 😊
I've purchased several items from you folks. The quality is unbelievable and the service matches that quality. The prices are so much lower than a standard jewelry store and again the quality is way better. They are outstanding as a gift. Thank you all.
Purchased a rosary for my nephew's confirmation. I had some questions along the way and customer service was very receptive and kind... Hard to find such good customer service these days. It was very refreshing and very much appreciated!
I have ordered a few things from Catholic Shop, including medals with engraving and candles. As for the medals and engraving, super job and very well made and dear to my heart. I can not say enough about Catholic Shop, their customer service and guarantee.
