About Incensum

MADE FOR THE CATHOLIC HOME

Hand-poured candles rooted in the Church's worship, seasons, and devotional life.

Why Incensum Exists

Incensum was founded in Carnegie, Pennsylvania, to make candles worthy of the traditional Catholic home. Most candles are made only to decorate a room. We wanted something with roots: incense, beeswax, Marian flowers, holy oils, vigil light, and the seasons of the Church.

Preserving The Tradition

For every candle sold, Incensum donates 10% of the candle’s purchase price to support the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest and its work of preserving and spreading the Traditional Latin Mass.

A Note On Our Support

The Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest serves the Church through the traditional Roman liturgy, priestly formation, sacred music, devotions, and local apostolates. Its presence includes Most Precious Blood of Jesus Parish in Pittsburgh, close to where Incensum is poured.

This support is one small way for Incensum to give back to the tradition that formed our sense of reverence, silence, incense, candlelight, and sacred time. It is part of our work, but it is not the whole story. Incensum exists first to make honest devotional candles for Catholic homes.

From Incensum

We are not trying to make Catholic-themed candles in the shallow sense. We are trying to make candles that feel at home beside a crucifix, an icon, a family Rosary, or a prayer book left open on the table. The goal is simple: help Catholic homes become a little more recollected, a little more beautiful, and a little more rooted in the faith.

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.
