About the founders

Catherine & Leo

CL

A father-daughter duo — devout, family-first, with decades in publishing.

Catherine and Leo are devout, family-first Catholics with a long history in the publishing business. Beyond their Catholic work, their secular publishing business has produced thousands of unique publications for businesses, nonprofits, real estate professionals, and local communities.

Catherine lost her faith in her twenties, eventually becoming a full-blown atheist. For ten years her father Leo prayed for her return, but she resisted even discussing faith. Realizing his lectures only made things worse, he instead sent an occasional book or forwarded an interesting email — infrequently enough not to feel overbearing. Eventually, one caught her attention: Malachi Martin's Hostage to the Devil. Intrigued, she devoured it and wanted to know more. That return led to her husband's conversion, and together they raised three children in the faith.

The right message, in the right place

01

Right now, young adults are converting to Catholicism at more than double the rate we saw in 2020. They are weary of our broken world, hungry for truth, and exploring Christianity. With so many great Catholic apologists, podcasters, and content creators — and unprecedented access to scientific evidence, philosophy, and personal testimonies — there has never been a more opportune time to encourage fallen-away Catholics to explore.

02

But the Internet is also crowded; it's tough to reach people online, and algorithms reinforce confirmation bias. Odyssey solves that by showing up in the mailbox. Mail remains the number one channel for engagement, even among Millennials and Gen Z, requiring recipients to pick it up and handle it even if they throw it away. With captivating headlines and visuals and a large, unique format, Odyssey stands out.

03

Odyssey is specifically designed for skeptical, tech-savvy audiences who left the Church or might be at risk of leaving. It presents evidence in a way that intrigues readers and encourages them to dig deeper — miracles, paranormal cases, scientific discoveries, and Catholic heroism, without selective reporting. It is factual, accurate, and fair, with QR codes to videos and other outside resources.

Join the journey

The goal isn't conversion. It's exploration.

We want readers to encounter Catholicism in a new, exciting way — and to think twice about the topics backing up God and salvation history.
