As Christians, we were meant to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” (Mk 16:15) but as a Church we need a foundational community in order to flourish. Just as an aquatic preserve helps to enable fish populations for the rest of the ocean, a Catholic preserve will help the Church in her existential mission.

That’s why we’ve created the Catholic Village Project, a community based on the doctrinal principles of subsidiarity and solidarity and the general principle of subsistence.

Features

• Church is centerpiece with academy/university and brewery/winery/distillery secondary
• Self-sustaining with water, food (farm & ranch), electricity (solar, hydroelectric) ( http://www.regenvillages.com/ )
• Pedestrian-first design
• Tourism would be large source of revenue (needs to be close to geographic draw or city hub(s)
• Seasonal events (Carnival, Easter, Oktoberfest, Christmas)
• Local sound currency based on bitcoin or UMU commodity-based currency
