The "Why" behind CORDA

Sharing the Gospel through scent

CORDA translates the stories of the saints into scents, and helps you create a place of prayer and peace in your home with handcrafted Catholic candles.

Handcrafted with heart

This Catholic small business is run by a husband and wife team, and everything we do draws on our love of the saints and our faith. It takes 20+ steps to make a CORDA candle, and each one is done by hand.

Intentionally designed

CORDA’s custom saint fragrances, proprietary coconut wax blend, modern design, and reusable containers are just a few ways thoughtfulness and care are part of every candle.
