“I would like to rekindle this Eucharistic amazement!” Saint John Paul II Christ is not only alive 2,000 years ago, but He is alive TODAY in the most Holy Eucharist — DO YOU REALIZE HOW GROUND-BREAKING THIS IS?!?! Believing in Jesus' full presence in the Eucharist means believing in the completely radical truth that He is capable of anything. It means believing that His desire to be close to us is much greater than the weight of our sins. It is a complete act of faith in His power.

Marketing is commonly written off as coercing consumers into action, because many businesses have misused their power in the past. However, when used rightly, it has the opportunity to do good and be more than an insubstantial persuasion tactic. In fact, it should be a method to bring the truth, beauty or goodness of a company or brand to the light. Mackenzie has degrees in both Catholic Studies and Advertising, and today she will walk you through what it should look like to market a Catholic organization, as well as a secular organization through a Catholic lens.
