The Catholic Marketing Network was founded by Alan Napleton in 1996 and was formed after years of discussions between Catholic professionals involved in a wide variety of activities related to the distribution of Catholic materials. Some were owners of Catholic gift and book stores, others were involved in the publishing of Catholic books and music or producing Catholic materials such as jewelry, statuary, or art.

There was a common agreement that there was no professional organization in existence that offered the opportunity for all of these diverse entities and individuals to come together for the purpose of making others aware of their activities, exchange information, network among each other and work together towards a common goal. CMN was formed in response to this need.

A featured event at this years CMN gathering is the U.S. film premiere of : Saint Augustine presented by Ignatius Press For more information on the CMN Trade Show, visit http://guest.cvent.com/EVENTS/Info/Summary.aspx?e=f535224e-fe19-40fe-b830-afaa9d736736
