“Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket…” Matthew 5:15
What began as a simple desire to make beautiful Catholic gifts, books, sacramentals, and faith-filled resources more accessible has grown into a mission to share Christ’s light with the parish we belong to and the community we live in. How did we get here? That’s a long story for another blog post but to put it simply, I found my home, my place of rest in the church that Christ started two thousand years ago. Becoming a part of the Catholic church and partaking in the Holy Eucharist and other sacraments has brought a depth, meaning and joy to my life that I never realized I was missing. My family moved to this community in the summer of 2025 and as I traversed the journey of my faith I longed to have a place to connect with other Catholics and peruse books and other resources. The tactile experience of connecting with sacramentals, blessed objects and other products led me to seek out local boutiques and stores, and I quickly realized they didn’t exist. Unfortunately shopping online didn’t provide the connection I longed for.
Shortly after my confirmation I began to think about the experience I had hoped for, and the lack of local Catholic boutiques. Lux Christi, though not yet named, began to form in my mind. I knew there was a gap but I wasn’t sure how to fill it, or if I was the person to even fill the gap. I began to research the topic, pray for guidance and discernment and after an initial conversation with trusted friends and family - Lux Christi was formed.
Through our pop-up and eventual mobile boutique, we thoughtfully curate products that inspire and deepen faith, encourage prayer, and accompany people along their faith journey.
At Lux Christi we believe that faith is meant to be lived, shared, and celebrated. We believe in the beauty and truth of Sacred Tradition, the power of sacramentals, and the importance of creating opportunities for people to encounter Christ in everyday life.
As much as we are honored to provide a unique and meaningful shopping experience, it is of equal importance to us that our work benefit the parish that has given us so much. This is why our mission extends beyond providing meaningful products. Through our unique profit-sharing model, a portion of proceeds from our events and sales is returned to the parish to support various projects and ministries. Every purchase becomes an opportunity to support the mission of the Church and strengthen our community.
Thank you for visiting Lux Christi. We invite you to explore, connect, and join us as we seek to share His light.
