What's in it for you?

Churches  The church is only as strong as it's members.  By using the Catholic Business Connection you can help build a strong, more financially sound church.  The church can then better support the community.  When a struggling church can't pay it's electric bill, how can it help the poor, feed the hungry, and help the needy?  By using fellow parishioners found on our site, you're supporting area parishes so they can do what they need to do in their own neighborhoods. The parishioners support the church.  But if they don't have it to give, the church can't receive.

     Your parish may be doing fine, but many in our diocese are not.  Our events calendar allows churches to advertise their fund raising events for free!  Visit often and attend the wonderful dinners, raffles, festivals and other affairs hosted by area churches.  Spread the word! Tell fellow parishioners about this website.

Schools  By using the C.B.C. directory members, you are supporting those who support their parish schools.  Many of our advertisers have children in the area currently in Catholic schools.  When you use their services, they can afford to continue sending their children to a Catholic school.  The schools could increase enrollment if more parents could make a better living to afford it.  Our advertisers are ALL registered Catholic parishioners.  Also, their advertising makes our scholarship program a reality, helping those who need financial help to keep their child or children attending a Catholic school.  And the Catholic education is foundation of our faith in the United States.

     Catholic schools may also advertise their events free in our events calendar so you can attend their great functions and sporting events. Tell parents and students about this website, we have something for everyone and it benefits us all!

Self Employed  Those who work for themselves know how expensive advertising is.  Now parishioners have an affordable venue to expose their products or services.  Tell the Catholic community about your business, services, and/or products.  By having lower overhead, Catholic business can be more competitive.  We promote our advertisers equally by offering a "one size" ad product. Even a very small company can afford to advertise with us.

Parishioners  Local Catholics have a directory of fellow parishioners in business.  Church bulletins don't always contain the people you need.  Use our events calendar to find fun things to do such as school plays or sporting events, festivals, rummage sales, or other affairs hosted by local Catholic churches.  Let's start seeing our church as an extended family, going beyond the parish to the entire diocese.  After all, if you are going to hire some one to do something, why not call a fellow Catholic.  If you are going to purchase something, why not shop at a store owned or operated by a fellow Catholic.

Society at large Our entire community benefits from Catholic ideals learned through the church and through Catholic education.  The Catholic schools and PSR programs teach morals, ethics, responsibility, honesty, charity, generosity, and social consciousness.  We have the greatest resources in the world.  If we can build a financially strong church here in the United States, we can help other countries achieve the same.  We can spread the Word of God with support through our physical presence as well as economic generosity.  We can achieve great things working together.
