Another great thing is that the company is starting to get a more diverse product line with the opening of the New World Gift Co to supply liturgical candles and prayerbooks to the Catholic churches around the US and the ability to take these products world wide.
The choice of Root Candle that already supplies 5000+ Catholic Churches was brilliant in my opinion. Does anyone know if the Dioces's are the ones that do the ordering or if that is handled by each church on an individual basis?
