Create a place of peace and prayer with our Catholic candles
CORDA bridges the sacred and the secular, bringing the faith to everyday moments.
We create and custom blend our signature scents in house and handcraft them into candles through 20+ steps. Complemented with a modern design and sustainable ingredients, these are saint candles like you've never seen, or smelled, before!
The fruit of love and prayer, each candle draws on the richness of our devotions, liturgy, and tradition, as well as the day to day lives and heavenly patronages of holy men and women. May the light of their lives point us to the Light of the World.

Alpine Ascent, inspired by St. Pier Giorgio Frassati
Uplifting scents of mountain air + pipe tobacco
This “man of the beatitudes” is loved for his example of true masculinity. An avid climber, Pier Giorgio was famously photographed smoking a pipe atop a mountain peak.
He found God by striving “verso l’alto,” or “to the heights,” as well as “on the ground” in friendship, political action, and care for the poor even in his last days.
Shower of Roses, inspired by St. Therese of Lisieux
Refreshing scents of rain soaked leaves and rose blossoms
Countless have prayed to this Carmelite nun, popularly known as the Little Flower, because of her famous promise: “After my death, I will let fall a shower of roses. I will raise up a mighty host of little saints.”
Her example reminds us to be childlike in our faith and to follow the “little way” to heaven.
Marked by Love, inspired by St. Padre Pio
Fragrant scents of coffee and the odor of sanctity
This Capuchin friar was the first priest to bear the stigmata, which gave off a pleasant fragrance experienced by skeptics and believers alike. Between the many hours he spent hearing confessions, Pio would drink a bowl of coffee while corresponding with people around the world who sought his spiritual direction.
