Catholic faith and outdoor life
Called into the wilderness —
in faith and in life.
What this is
Wilderness Catholic calls people out of comfort and into creation, where faith is tested, hearts are renewed, and beauty reveals the presence of God.
Scripture keeps sending people into the wilderness: Israel wandered there, Elijah fled there, and Christ was led there by the Spirit before he began his work. Most of us go with a canoe, a tent, or a deer tag, and come home with wet boots and a quieter mind. Wilderness Catholic is for people who suspect those two things are related.

From the trail
New videos and photos from family trips, hunting seasons and canoe country go up on YouTube and Instagram first.
Gear is on the way
The first run is in the works: tees, a sweatshirt, hats and stickers. Get on the list and you’ll be the first to hear when the shop opens.
The family behind it
My name is John, and my wife Amanda and our kids are in most of what you’ll see here. We live in Wisconsin, which is where most of it happens.
