To evangelize through what we wear
About three years ago I was at a Catholic Conference and I saw so many people young and old, men and women, boys and girls on fire for the Lord, praising Jesus, praying and singing. What I noticed was that many of them were wearing shirts advertising beer, cigarettes, music bands, name brands and many other stuff of a kind. It was on that occasion that I had an inspiration, “Why not to evangelize through what we wear?” Last year, on July 2003, I talked to Fr. Claudio De Agostini, my Parish priest and good friend, about my project. With his blessing and encouragement I came out with 5 designs for T-Shirts and caps. I put some money into it and presented my material that was enthusiastically accepted by many people. Each design is accompanied by a written explanation of what it means. So, if you are wearing one of these T-shirts or caps and you are asked about the symbols or words printed on it you know how to answer. This is a wonderful way for you to evangelize through what you wear.

Our Mission statement
We are Christian Catholic and must not be afraid or ashamed of who we are or what we believe in. Our faith is about Jesus, the Holy Trinity, the Sacraments, the Pope, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Saints and all the Roman Catholic Church can offer. We need to spread the message, and what better way than to wear it? Why not to be walking billboards for Christ and his Church?
