Experience Mass in a Whole New Way

(cover © Patrick A. Jones, 2008)

Coming this Lent, 2009, an illustrated children's story missal that will help your kids enter Mass, and reveal it to you in a whole new way! One previewer (a children's catechist) said:

"I'll never experience Mass the same way again!"

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)." 
  
• include the name and recommendation from a current member who referred you to us, if you have that (not a requirement). 

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