weCatholic Partner Bazaar

We want to team up with other strongly Catholic creative folks to rejuvenate and revolutionize Catholic products. Jesus our Christ challenges us to "feed my sheep" and together we strive to respond to that call.

Just what is weCatholic Partner Bazaar? It is a pool of Catholic creatives who propose products that will bear the weCatholic name and who collaborate to create them and bring them to the world market, sharing ownership of the product and the profits it produces.

Here's how it works (click on picture for full size):  

Who can join? Anyone with a skill that can help create a product, from the idea through to marketing. This includes artists, writers, theologians, specialists in llayout, design, publishing, product creation, and more. Not sure? write us to see!

The beauty of this is there are thousands of faithful people with amazing skills who want to express their faith and help other's on our faith journey. Creating amazing Catholic products is a tremendous way to do exactly that while sharing in the joys, challenges, and profits of ownership.  

Interested? The application process is quite simple.

1. Read our Common Sense Legal Agreement. If you agree to it, then...
   
2. Email Deacon Patrick (lamontglen [a t} mac {d ot] com) with:

• your full name, address, cell, day and evening phone, and email
  
• a brief (1,000 words or less) response to this question: Describe your own journey on the road to Emmaus, including who you have and currently identify with and why
  
• state that you agree to our common sense legal agreement and that submitting your email is your assent to that agreement
  
• make the subject of your email "Partner Bazaar Application of (your name)."

I look forward to meeting you and working together to revolutionize Catholic products!

Common Sense Legal Agreement

By applying to join weCatholic Partner Bazaar you agree to the following, which is binding should you be accepted into weCatholic Partner Bazaar:

Common sense, plain language legal agreement:
From now (the date of my email application) forward I agree that should I be accepted into weCatholic's Partner Bazaar:

-- I understand that weCatholic will help shape and prepare any products for market, but that if I am the idea originator that I retain ownership of that idea. I understand that, among other things, weCatholic uses the theology found in "The Best Good Life" by Patrick A. Jones to evaluate potential product ideas.

-- I understand that weCatholic's ownership in any product to which it gives it's brand name is 10%-20% based on our negotiations, and that to bring an idea to a finalized, distributed product I will need to find creative partners to share in ownership and creation of that product.

-- I will not share information about products or ideas that we communicate by any means with anyone outside this group. Spouses are considered bound by this agreement and included in it, so we are each free to talk with our Beloved.

-- I agree that the seed idea and it's ownership belongs with the person who originally approaches me with it and that any contributions I make to their concept are given freely.

-- I agree to strive to uphold the human dignity of every person in this group in every interaction, placing theirs above my own should dispute occur.

-- By breaking this agreement there are legal ramifications, but also serious soul damaging consequences of having violated the trust other members of Christ's body have placed in me.

-- By sharing ownership with weCatholic and other partners of any particular product of which I am the idea originator, I do not give up or share the ownership of my idea, but rather ownership in the finished product.

-- In any and all disagreements, I will abide by Matthew 18:15-20 in any and all disagreements.

-- It is my and my partner's responsibility to create the legal partnership that defines the roles and responsibilities of our involvement and the percentage of our various ownership. weCatholic is working to create a general contract for this purpose.
