Looking for meaningful Easter gifts from Catholic businesses? There's an app for that. Catholic Owned® is ready for you, just in time for Easter shopping, with a newly redesigned app.
Catholic Owned® is a company and digital platform that exclusively promotes businesses owned and operated by Catholics. Since launching last April, the platform has grown from just 35 businesses to more than 5,000 Catholic-owned companies.
“The heart of Catholic Owned® is about bringing devout Catholics together and advancing the prosperity of Catholic communities,” said Brooke Joiner, co-founder. “Our faith is central to every aspect of our lives. Why shouldn’t it play a primary role in our purchasing decisions too?”
Easter shopping made easier
With Easter right around the corner, Catholic Owned® has released their second annual Eastertide Shopping Guide. This digital 60-page magazine features over 25 merchants with exclusive Easter discounts. Joiner said:
We envision families turning to Catholic Owned and our Eastertide Shopping Guide to discover meaningful gifts for Easter, Sacramental celebrations, and more. With a beautifully designed digital flipbook and a dedicated Eastertide section in the Catholic Owned App, shoppers can browse dozens of Catholic Owned gift shops and make purchases with ease. The goal is to align spiritual and material preparations, so families can enter more fully into the mysteries of the season.
The guide doubles as a Liturgical Living resource. It includes devotional articles and sacred art that explore Holy Week and Easter traditions.
Shop with purpose year-round
The newly redesigned app makes it easier to find products from Catholic businesses. Popular categories include Babies & Kids, Health & Wellness, Professional Services, and Catholic Gifts.
Each business listing includes a detailed spotlight. Users can learn about the owners, how faith shapes their business, and even their favorite saints.
“My husband and I began Catholic Owned® because we know the struggle of doing business with companies that don't align with our Catholic values,” Joiner said.
Their response? Strengthening the “Catholic economy” with the platform they'd wished they had.
Eastertide is only the beginning. Catholic Owned® makes it easy for Catholics to support one another in business all year round. Whether you’re looking for businesses at your parish, in your local community, or across the U.S., the app makes it simple to shop and do business with intention. By keeping resources in the hands of the faithful, we strengthen the Church and take meaningful steps toward renewing the culture for Christ — that's the heart of Building the New Catholic Economy®.
The app includes helpful features beyond shopping. Users can find local Mass times, access daily readings, and join a prayer community.
