Be a Part of the Largest Catholic International Trade Show in the US!
We are thrilled about our upcoming CMN Trade Show! Next year's event, which will be held at the prestigious campus of the Catholic University of America from August 4-8, 2025, promises to be a fantastic gathering. We will be incorporating themes from the Jubilee year, the motto for which is “Pilgrims of Hope”.
This gathering is not only going to be for networking, building connections, and buying or selling religious articles, but also a time to come together in faith, as “Pilgrims of Hope”, and because we know that “Hope does not disappoint” (Rom 5:5).
One of the highlights of the event will be the opportunity to attend a special Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, and visit the holy sites in the Washington area — a profound blessing and a chance for all of us to recharge spiritually.

“The CMN Trade Show was so impactful on my small business. When I went to CMN, I had retailers representing my products in only two states. Since attending CMN trade show, I’m now in retailers in 19 states! It was one of the best events I’ve attended!”
