Our fees are slightly less than Etsy’s, and all of our vendors commit to giving at least ten percent of their proceeds to Catholic ministries.
CHIARA FINALDI: Why did you choose this particular name?
DAVID RUMMELHOFF: Speaking as a convert, the central issue for life in the Church is authority. The final reason for divisions is a denial of authority. So, fidelity to authority is huge for me.
That is how I came up with the name Peter’s Mark, referring to the papal coat of arms with the crossed keys as a symbol of that fidelity. When I was trying to come up with the right name for a Catholic marketplace, I racked my brain for a week before I realized that the name was obvious.
A square (as in a piazza) isn’t always a marketplace, but it can be. And there is already a St. Peter’s Square that is unquestionably Catholic. So, Peter’s Square seemed a natural fit.
