CHIARA FINALDI: How long has it been around?

DAVID RUMMELHOFF: I launched Peter’s Square in May of 2016. So, we’re coming up on the first anniversary, which is exciting.

CHIARA FINALDI: In what way is Peter’s Square different from Etsy?

DAVID RUMMELHOFF: Well, Peter’s Square is Catholic. There is nothing morally wrong with buying or selling on Etsy, but Etsy is a company with ideals that run contrary to our faith.

So, Peter’s Square differs in that way, which is why you will not find anything… unwholesome on Peter’s Square.

Functionally, both platforms are multi-vendor marketplaces.

Peter’s Square vendors must be Catholic, though their products aren’t necessarily religious.
