About Catholic Exchange
Our Mission

By offering accessible articles and helpful tools for spiritual growth, we seek to make saints in our own time — especially among those who live busy lives but still seek to grow in friendship with Christ.
our story
Catholic Exchange seeks to enable all to be enriched and strengthened in their Christian faith as proclaimed by the Catholic Church. By offering accessible articles and helpful tools for spiritual growth, we seek to make saints in our own time — especially among those who live busy lives but still seek to grow in friendship with Christ.
We publish the finest articles that explore the saints, devotions, and the everyday spiritual and practical aspects of Catholicism.
We seek to be a site that “breathes with both lungs”, providing a forum for Eastern and Western Catholics of different backgrounds who, with all their diversity, remain united with the Catholic Church and Her teachings.
We employ social media to help spread the message of Christ to all and to provide a truly convenient means to grow in faith while connecting the lay faithful with fantastic ministries.
