About ParishMart

Turning everyday commerce into purpose.

The story, the people and the principles behind the commerce-and-giving platform for the Catholic world.

Our Origins

Connecting the dots with purpose.

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward.”
Steve Jobs · Stanford, 2005

That phrase has stayed with us for years. And today, as we look back, we see clearly how every dot — every challenge, every opportunity, every moment of uncertainty, and every blessing — has led us to ParishMart.

We are a family of immigrants, entrepreneurs, and Catholics. For more than 30 years, we've built businesses across industries, explored the digital frontier of e-commerce and payment systems, and raised a family anchored in faith and resilience.

Our story took a bold turn when we had to start over in the United States — as adults, with two young daughters, carrying little more than determination and gratitude. The road was not easy. But through each step, we felt the unmistakable hand of God guiding us. His timing, even when difficult to understand, has always been perfect.

This country opened its doors to us, and for that we remain forever grateful.

ParishMart is the fruit of that journey. It is more than a marketplace — it is a mission. A platform created to give back… to support parishes, uplift communities, and empower meaningful causes. It brings together everything we've learned about business, people, service, and above all, faith.

Through ParishMart, we want to share the tools, knowledge, and experiences that shaped our path — so churches, nonprofits, and small businesses can create income with purpose. A place where every transaction contributes to something greater.

ParishMart is from the community, for the community.

Where faith becomes action. Where generosity becomes a way of life. Where purpose meets possibility.

This is our story — and the beginning of a much larger movement.
Our Mission

To turn the everyday commerce and generosity of Catholic communities into lasting, recurring support for their parishes, local businesses and causes.

Our Vision

A world where every community can fund itself — a circle of purpose where value keeps circulating inside the community instead of leaving it.

Our Code of Ethics

The commitments that guide how we treat communities, partners and each other.

Mission before margin

As a Public Benefit Corporation, our purpose — strengthening communities — guides every decision, alongside a healthy business.

Honesty & integrity

We say what we do and do what we say — with parishes, businesses, partners and each other.

Community first

Parishes, families and causes are the reason we exist; their trust is our most valuable asset and we never take it for granted.

Transparency

Clear pricing, honest metrics, no hidden fees. We would rather share an uncomfortable truth than a comfortable spin.

Stewardship of giving

Every dollar meant for a parish or cause reaches it. Half of every membership goes back to the community — by design.

Privacy & trust

We protect the data of every community and person. We never sell personal data or exploit the trust of the parish.

Respect & inclusion

We serve diverse, bilingual communities with dignity — honoring the Catholic identity and values at the heart of the network.

Accountability

We hold ourselves to our mission and measure success by the impact we create, not only the revenue we earn.
