Catholic-Owned Businesses Unite: How One Movement Is Strengthening the Catholic Economy

At a time when many faithful Catholics are looking for ways to live their values more intentionally, Catholic Owned is creating a new path forward. Founded by Brooke Joiner, the initiative seeks to unite Catholic business owners and Catholic consumers to strengthen local communities, support family livelihoods, and build a thriving values-aligned economy.

Brooke’s inspiration came from a simple observation: other communities have found great success by intentionally supporting businesses within their shared identity. 

Catholic Owned solves two major problems: Catholic business owners often struggle to be discovered by values-aligned customers, and consumers frequently have no way to know whether the products they buy are produced by fellow Catholics. The Catholic Owned platform offers a centralized directory where businesses can sign up, get verified, and be visible to Catholic households nationwide, while consumers can join for free and easily search by location or category.

Brooke believes this effort can reshape local economies and strengthen Catholic life. Every dollar is a vote. When we choose to support Catholic families and Catholic entrepreneurship, we build a stronger Church.

Businesses and consumers can join the movement today by visiting CatholicOwned.com and taking the first step toward a more connected and mission-driven Catholic community.
