Our Mission

What happens to a painting in the shadows when you shine bright light on it?  Voila....beauty radiates!  Our company, CATHOLIT, was started to help shine light and paint the picture of Jesus’ life using His gospel words and His Church.  And we want to do this foremost within the Liturgy........where the mystical happens.  

You might ask, what qualifies CATHOLIT to be a light bearer?  Well the old axiom, “God doesn’t call the qualified, he qualifies the called." applies to us.  He called us about 20 years ago when we volunteered to teach CCD, and then Children’s Liturgy.  Since then we’ve been leading and teaching about 500 Sunday Children's Liturgy lessons. Then God continued to call us to volunteer and create parish adult and children faith formation activities.  So we created, aided and led dozens of faith formation efforts for every season within our 2,500 person Northern California parish.   For 20 years we have also shared our professional experiences to help shed light within our church. Our backgrounds as consumer products business executives and strategic consultants for large corporations, coupled with 10 years as a small faith group leader, and a licensed substitute teacher, have provided lamplights for this faith journey.   

You know, through all our parish children and adult faith formation efforts one truth has shined brightest.  The children and adults who prepare for and Keep Sunday Holy provide the most radiant light of the sun/son within our Catholic Church.  CATHOLIT wants to be one of those beams that help guide this next Catholic generation from dimness into the daylight of Jesus and His Church.   How best to shine brilliant light?  In our experience, one way children and adults come to understand and love Jesus is to see and hear his words in an interactive way.  So we've created what we hope are two visually engaging tools to help illuminate the Liturgy and Jesus' teachings.    The famous early church father, St. Jerome, said,  "Ignorance of scriptures is ignorance of Christ." Together we can ignite scripture and the Liturgy to shine light on Christ.  

In our hearts we also love to turn lights on in Catholic parishes and schools In disadvantaged areas. CATHOLIT makes our Sunday Gospel Chats and "Holy Mass - Understanding the Sacred Meal" cards (non-laminated) available FREE to many parishes and schools.  If you are one of these parishes or schools, please reach out to us.  Together we'll help light up the Liturgy and spread the "Good News".  

May God richly bless you all.
