Branches Catholic Ministries

Based in the vineyards of the Niagara Peninsula, Branches Catholic Ministries (BCM) is a non-profit organization established in 2010, with the mission to “bring Catholic Faith to Modern Culture” through special events, conferences, and the facilitation of adult faith formation programs and youth ministry both on-site and in parishes. Branches Catholic Books & Gifts and Raising Little Saints, divisions of BCM, offer a great selection of Catholic literature from apologetics to reading for spiritual growth to age-appropriate titles and resources that will help form children and youth in their beautiful Catholic faith. Profits realized from the sale of books and gifts are reinvested into our community for purposes of evangelization. With an adjoining coffeehouse, Branches Catholic Books & Gifts has become a unique hub for our diocese. The coffeehouse known as Grounds of Hope supports the drilling of water wells in Guatemala through Wells of Hope In- ternational Development Inc. from the sale of “fairest trade” coffee. Furthermore, Branches hosts many special events; one such event has come to be known as Faith on Tapas with an ‘Ask Father’ session. Recently, Branches sponsored film screenings of the new epic motion picture Mary of Nazareth in select theatres across Ontario. Regenerate(d) 2014 is Branches Catholic Ministries’ newest and largest venture.
