Great story. Creativity and imagination. Reminds me of the time a German American Catholic community came together and transformed an old bar downtown and turned it into a youth ice cream/burger center of evangelization. It’s called the Ark and it belongs to the community of St.Mary, Westphalia MI. I was the pastor at the time it was gutted and remodeled. It has a little chapel too. It would make a great story.

The exchange of money in return for goods and services is essential to a capitalistic economy. It seems like we have a "stuff" problem, or better known as materialism. People just have too much stuff. But, rather than give it away, leading down the path to socialism, better to sell it. If you really want to give it away, then let's start Catholic thrift stores that will turn a profit and create jobs with all this extra stuff.
