A Catholic social media platform, for everyday use.

"Your daily encounter with Christ takes place right where you work, where your aspirations and your affections are. There we must seek sanctity, in the midst of the most material things of the earth, serving God and all humankind." -St. Josemaría Escrivá

Our goal is to empower Catholics with useful everyday resources to strengthen their involvement within their community and faith. Our social media platform is designed to connect Catholics within their community (by using Geo-location technology) while simultaneously letting them reach Catholics from all over the world.

Easy to use, create your profile in less than a minute!

About the Founder:

The founder of Catholic Connect, Richy Orozco, founded the organization over four years ago to help younger Catholics stay connected to their faith through social media. He quickly noticed that his pages were attracting followers from all ages and countries.

Additionally, Richy has been helping catholic companies of all sizes, from start-ups to some of the largest companies in the U.S. reach larger audiences. He identified the need to not just help one by one, but to empower all and provide them with a place where they can offer their business to other Catholics nearby without having to spend thousands of dollars on advertising.

He's always been growing in his faith thanks to his devout catholic family. Furthermore, he sees the need to better implement communication and improve all of the technological aspects within the church.

I started the journey of creating a new social media platform for Catholics in 2016 for many reasons. Here are some of the reasons:

I wanted to be more involved with my faith community but it was hard to find local catholic groups. (Wouldn't it be nice to find all local catholic groups in one place?!)

I would hear about catholic events after they happened, which was frustrating.

I have met some amazing Priests in my life that I wish I could have stayed in contact with. (Soon you will be able to!)

I like supporting my catholic community so I thought it would be nice if there was a feature to display all local catholic-owned businesses and/or business professionals.

I like using technology that you can use every day of the week so I asked myself, how can I create value for other Catholics and make it accessible to everyone?

I like hanging out with people that share the same values and making new catholic friends. (This new social media platform lets you do that!)

Some of my pro-life content was being taken down on social media and I saw similar things happening to other catholic pages. I wanted to create a place where Catholics could freely express their beliefs.

The funds raised through this Kickstarter will be used for covering additional costs of developers, expand new features within our social media platform, reach more Catholics from all over the world, and provide them with this beneficial technology. We truly believe this will facilitate communication within our church and bring back many fallen away Catholics. Ora pro nobis, Sancta Dei Genitrix.
