The Story Behind Cathopic

Our initiative began in 2017 when Dimitri Conejo Sanz, a UX/UI designer and Frontend developer, was inspired by the Holy Spirit to create a platform that would assist in Evangelization through the paths of beauty, design, and innovation, and thus founded Cathopic. Due to the lack of authentically beautiful and high-quality digital content, this venture was born with the desire to aid parishes, movements, organizations, schools, and individuals in their evangelization efforts.

Following the initial launch of our website, we decided to take a step further in 2018 with Cathopic 2.0 to meet the needs of our community. This version included numerous new features as part of a long-term expansion plan aimed at initiating new learnings and inspiring the creation of a much stronger environment for our followers and users.

In 2019, we partnered with WYD 2019 Panama to capture the love for Christ and His Church from all the young participants of the event. It was a rewarding experience where we shared one heart with our young Catholics. This event reinforced our conviction that we were on the right path to fulfill a dream that was already underway with great enthusiasm, faith and guided by Christ to create a much more solid bank of Catholic resources and to be present and assist our community.

Around the year 2019, Dimconex Media, was created as Catholics all around the globe ventured into the digital evangelization, providing cutting-edge products, support, and online services to follow the Church through innovative technological projects. We had much more to do, much more to say and propose to the Catholic world, and we were convinced that we could achieve significant change with the support of other organizations joining our cause. We were going for more. Much more!

A bit further into 2020, things became challenging worldwide with the emergence of COVID-19, and Cathopic was there to support Catholics worldwide using digital media. Many organizations worldwide were compelled to digitize at an unprecedented pace, making history and transforming the new reality of mass communication, among other activities. We were eager and able to put in a great effort successfully to stay afloat and provide high-quality content to Catholic entrepreneurs and projects that needed us.

And then came 2022 with the grand launch of Cathopic 3.0. By the grace and inspiration of God, over the last 6 years, we have been able to support ministries worldwide in their evangelization efforts through completely free Catholic photographs. However, we were eager to do more. Our users expressed their desire for additional resources such as videos for event promotions and Catholic course content, illustrations to enhance newsletters and brochures, and graphic designs to advance marketing and social media communication.

We have diligently worked on improving our platform and services to take our users to the next level in their evangelization efforts, and we continue to work towards delivering a product of excellence while faithfully adhering to the principles of Catholic Doctrine.

We have a mission to fulfill, and we are excited to stay committed to it for a long time to come.

This is Cathopic.
