Direct peers

• Word on Fire Catholic Ministries: Word on Fire is a Catholic media and evangelization nonprofit led by Bishop Robert Barron, producing digital content, books, films, and the Word on Fire Bible and Formed.org platform.

• EWTN Global Catholic Network: EWTN is the world's largest Catholic media network, operating TV, radio, and digital platforms producing faith formation, news, and educational content.

Broad incumbents

• Catholic Relief Services: CRS is the official international humanitarian agency of the U.S. Catholic Bishops and one of the largest faith-based nonprofit organizations.

Emerging players

• Hallow Prayer App: Hallow is the leading Catholic prayer and meditation app offering audio-guided prayers, scripture, and sleep content. It is comparable to YCVF's Prayer Candles platform and daily scripture readings in mobile-first Catholic prayer and formation.
