Scents of the Saints right in your living room
Fall weather is just around the corner and you know what that means! Time for a good book with some cozy scented candles. Created by a local Steubenville family, these candles have been our favorite products to unpack so far (we may or may not have lit one immediately in the office). With a personalized Catholic line sold exclusively at Catholic to the Max, these candles are made of 100% soy wax and come in a 10oz size. Each features a unique and pleasant aroma centered around the great saints or angels. Sip coffee with Padre Pio or explore the mountain peak with Pope John Paul II! With 16 different candles to choose from, you may want to get some for your friends so you can try them all! | | | |

| "We were inspired by memories. A country byway with rolling hills and wide-open fields. Cattle ranging and horses running. Neighbors waving and tractors rolling steadily onward. A little one-room schoolhouse nestled at the end of the road. To the modern mail carrier, it was 690th Avenue. To the folks who remember its history, it was Old Forestville Road. We weren’t there for the beginning, but the name stirred our emotions, and it became OUR beginning..." |

|
| In 2018 on that same country byway, Forestville Candle Company was born. It started with entrepreneurial spirits from two teenage daughters Abbey (left) and Anna (right) and a passion for making candles. Now proudly owned and operated in Steubenville, OH. As a Catholic business, 10% of their profits go directly to support local charities! |

| When lighting a soy candle for the first time, allow the wax to melt all the way to the sides of the container. This will give you maximum fragrance and an even burn. If you do not allow the wax to pool on the first burn you may get wax remaining along the sides of your candle container. This is called “Tunneling.” |
|
|
| Always trim your wick to about ¼” before you re-light your candle. This will ensure a long-lasting candle, minimize soot, and remove any mushrooming of the wick left from the previous burn. | | | |
