The staff of CatholicShop.com feels that this site is a gift from God, and an opportunity to evangelize and share the beauty of the Catholic faith with the world.
To fully understand what we mean, here are the main tenets on which we built and continue to operate this website.
VOCATION
For a Catholic, discerning one's vocation is the most important part of life. The time comes when a Catholic must ask the big question: What is God's purpose for my life? Some become priests. Some get married. Some embark in lifelong careers.
For the CatholicShop.com staff, our collective vocation is this website. It's a career, business and ministry all wrapped up in one.
CatholicShop.com is a labor of love. Our Catholic faith is the driving force behind everything we do. We are fully aware that being Catholic is more than just claiming to be affiliated with a particular organization. It's not a social club. It's not a political organization. It's not even a church... it's THE Church.
Together, as Catholics, we are part of a rich, storied heritage founded by Jesus himself, a Church of wonders and miracles, an incubator for prophets, saints and extraordinary people who sought to change the world for the betterment of all. Thanks to the gifts of the Catholic Church, the world has been graced by people like St. Francis of Assisi, Mother Teresa, Pope John Paul II, St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Benedict, and multitudes more.
CatholicShop.com wants to help you immerse yourself in your faith, and we are here to provide a wide range of spiritual "accessories" to help you do that.
We are thrilled to have been given this vocation, but we also understand the responsibility that comes with it. We know we are called to be more than just an online store. We are also called to be a ministry, with the goal of making the world a better place.
It is said, "To those who have been given much, much will be required." As Catholics who have been given the fullness of truth, it is easy to conclude that God requires more of us in our lives. Have we been good examples to others, especially to non-Catholics? Have we been kind to everyone, forgiven everyone, and loved our enemies? We are all human, and God's love, thankfully, is immeassurable. CatholicShop.com is your source for tangible enhancements to your faith, products that will help you on this arduous but rewarding "pilgrim's journey" that we call life.
