Advertising with Salt + Light

  
  

Catholics around the world are extremely under-served in terms of media programming and content today. When one compares the breadth of secular media to that of Catholic media, it is quickly apparent that an enormous gap exists between them. Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation responds to this large need by providing hope-filled content through a variety of media channels.

Our Foundation is supported by visionaries who wish to share stories of hope with people from every demographic group: from the very young, to baby boomers, new families and more. We are happy to “open our doors” to select organizations who wish to advertise their respective missions and offerings with our engaged public: from the very young, to baby boomers, new families and more.

Please consider our numerous promotional opportunities. Every dollar earned through advertising helps to support our much-needed ministry.
Thank you.
