"Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me." — Matthew 25:40

Every rosary, statue, and holy card that leaves our warehouse carries something beyond itself. From the beginning, we've believed that a Catholic store should do more than sell Catholic things — it should help build up the Church and care for the people Christ loved most. That conviction shapes how we spend what we earn.

Here is what your purchase helps make possible.

Feeding Hungry Children Through Mary's Meals

"The bread you are storing up belongs to the hungry." — St. Basil the Great

Hunger is not an abstraction. Millions of children go to bed with nothing, and millions more stay home from school because there is no reason to walk there. St. John Chrysostom preached that feeding the hungry is a greater work than raising the dead — a startling claim, until you consider what a single meal can set in motion.

CatholicShop.com supports Mary's Meals, a charity that serves a nutritious meal to more than three million children every school day across sixteen countries. The meals are served at school, which means the promise of food draws hungry children into a classroom and gives them the strength to stay there and learn.

What makes Mary's Meals extraordinary is how far a small gift travels. It costs about $25.20 to feed a child for an entire school year — roughly thirteen cents a day. Local volunteers, many of them the parents and grandparents of the children being fed, cook and serve the meals themselves, which is how the cost stays so remarkably low.

CatholicShop.com has donated thousands of dollars to Mary's Meals, and as our company grows, we intend to grow our giving with it. Best of all, this costs you nothing. Our prices remain among the lowest anywhere online, so when you shop here, you are saving money and helping to save lives.

We also warmly invite you to give directly at marysmealsusa.org.

Supporting the Legacy of Archbishop Fulton Sheen

"Unless souls are saved, nothing is saved." — Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Long before anyone spoke of Catholic media, Fulton Sheen was carrying the Gospel into living rooms across America — a bishop in a cassock and cape holding his own against prime-time television, drawing millions of viewers and countless souls toward Christ.

CatholicShop.com is proud to support the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Foundation, which preserves his writings and broadcasts, promotes devotion to him, and has carried his cause for canonization forward for more than two decades. That work has borne fruit: Archbishop Sheen is scheduled to be beatified on September 24, 2026, in St. Louis, Missouri — the step just before sainthood.

We support the Foundation because Sheen's mission and ours overlap. He understood that the media of his day could be an instrument of evangelization rather than a rival to it. We try to say the same about ours.

The Films and Books We Produce

"Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature." — Mark 16:15

CatholicShop.com is not only a store. We are also a producer of films and a publisher of books, and we invest a meaningful share of our revenue in projects that would rarely survive a commercial pitch meeting — stories of conversion, pilgrimage, and grace that we believe deserve to be told well.

Our work includes the documentary film Apparition Hill and the book My Heart Will Triumph, along with other titles produced for readers and viewers seeking something true. These projects are not fundraisers for us. They are part of how we understand our purpose: to put beautiful, faithful work into the world and let God do what He wishes with it.

Discounts for Parishes, Schools, and Ministries

"Freely you have received; freely give." — Matthew 10:8

Some of the people who most need what we sell have the least to spend on it. A parish preparing two hundred children for First Communion, a Catholic school assembling classroom crucifixes, a prison ministry sending rosaries where they cannot be bought — these are the missions we most want to serve.

That's why CatholicShop.com offers substantial discounts to parishes, schools, religious communities, and ministries, well beyond ordinary bulk pricing. If you are ordering for a parish, school, or apostolate, learn more about our discounts. We would rather see a case of rosaries go into the hands of catechumens than sit on our shelf at full price.

Why We Do It

"If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one." — St. Teresa of Calcutta

None of this makes us extraordinary. It simply reflects what we believe a Catholic business is for. The Church has always taught that what we own is held in trust — that generosity is not the surplus of a good life but the substance of it.

So thank you. When you shop at CatholicShop.com, you are feeding children who would otherwise go without, helping to carry a great American evangelist toward the altars, supporting films and books that lead people to Christ, and putting sacred goods into the hands of parishes and schools that could not otherwise afford them.

May God bless you and your family.

If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?

- James, 2:15
