I’m the owner and chief creator here at House of Joppa.  I’m so glad you are here!   

We exist to share the beauty of our One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic faith in our homes through a variety of Catholic home decor pieces, Catholic art, Saint candles, statues, paper goods and beautifully handcrafted Catholic jewelry.  

These are all the things that help me to immerse myself in my faith and I hope they do the same for you.

Why House of Joppa?

“What’s in a name?” as Shakespeare so famously asked.  For me, House of Joppa is rooted in scripture and deeply personal.  

Acts 9:36-42 tells the story of a faithful disciple named Tabitha (or Dorcas as my brother loved to point out...we’ll stick with Tabitha) from Joppa who was known for her good works and helping the poor.  In a few short verses, scripture tells us the miraculous story of how Tabitha died and was raised to life again by St. Peter.  The story spread throughout the region and “many believed in the Lord.”  

My hope is that our Catholic store and gift shop will inspire you to live our faith boldly in a world in such desperate need of beauty and that by doing so, many will come to believe in our Lord!
