Santo Catholic Mission began during the COVID-19 pandemic in February 2020. Our founders, John and Simmy Jofin, members of St. Martin of Tours Parish in Vegreville, Canada, started sharing daily recitations of the Holy Rosary in their native Malayalam language. What began as a heartfelt response to a time when churches were closed quickly resonated with others seeking spiritual connection.
Santo Catholic Mission began during the COVID-19 pandemic in February 2020. Our founders, John and Simmy Jofin, members of St. Martin of Tours Parish in Vegreville, Canada, started sharing daily recitations of the Holy Rosary in their native Malayalam language. What began as a heartfelt response to a time when churches were closed quickly resonated with others seeking spiritual connection.
With very little technical knowledge but unwavering faith, the founders began learning video editing through online tutorials. They launched their first prayer channel called "Little Goodness," dedicated to sharing the Holy Rosary. As more souls joined in prayer, the mission expanded into multiple languages. A growing community of devoted Catholics worldwide – translators, voice artists, video editors, and prayer leaders – came together through divine providence, enabling the mission to reach believers across continents.
What started as a humble prayer channel has blossomed into a transformative spiritual movement reaching souls in over 100 countries. We now offer daily Rosary videos in 10+ languages, have shared 10,000+ Rosary videos, facilitated over 10 million hours of Holy Rosary prayers, and have an active team of 60+ dedicated servants of Christ working across all continents.
Despite earning multiple advanced degrees and establishing a successful financial career, our founder made the extraordinary decision to sacrifice his professional career to fulfill his sacred childhood promise. John now works 16+ hours daily coordinating our global mission, truly embodying Christ's call to leave everything and follow Him, bringing faith to everyone.
Santo Catholic Mission has a rich tradition of seeking heavenly intercession for our work. St. Joseph serves as our primary spiritual patron, while Blessed Carlo Acutis is our technology patron. However, our devotion extends to many more saints who guide specific aspects of our mission.
Our founders John and Simmy were childhood friends and neighbors in the same neighborhood in India. They both grew up with profound devotion to the Holy Family, regarding St. Joseph and the Holy Mother as their own parents, respectfully calling them "Appa" and "Amma" (meaning Papa and Mama in English). When they initiated this holy mission to save souls for the Holy Mother and their "childhood friend" Infant Jesus, they naturally turned to St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church, to be the spiritual patron and guardian of their mission.
When beginning this digital mission, John and Simmy had no technical expertise in creating videos or managing online platforms. They were deeply inspired by the story of young Blessed Carlo Acutis, who used his technological skills to spread devotion to the Eucharist before his untimely death at age 15. They frequently sought his heavenly intercession while learning video editing and digital media skills. Through what they believe was his guidance, they were able to overcome technological challenges and create a global digital ministry despite having no prior experience in this field.
Yes, we have entrusted various aspects of our mission to different saints' patronage:
- St. Anthony as our Content Patron
- St. Jude for marketing initiatives
- St. Dominic Savio as the patron for Santo Kids
- St. Augustine as the patron of the Santo Catholic App development
Our team members begin Santo Mission's tasks each day with the Holy Rosary and by attending Holy Mass as frequently as possible. We believe that through all our evangelization efforts, the spiritual foundation of prayer is what makes our work fruitful for listeners, viewers, and supporters of our humble mission worldwide. Our digital ministry is built on a foundation of traditional Catholic devotion and sacramental life.
Yes, we have a multinational Intercession Team spanning across all continents who pray for various intentions of the Santo Community worldwide.

The Santo Holy Rosary Mission is our founding spiritual initiative that began during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through this mission, we create and share daily Rosary videos in multiple languages, helping Catholics worldwide develop a consistent prayer life centered on Our Lady's most powerful devotion. The Rosary videos guide faithful through meditation on the mysteries of Christ's life through Mary's eyes, bringing spiritual comfort and grace to homes across the globe.
What began as a simple prayer channel has grown into a global spiritual movement that offers:
- Daily Rosary videos in 10+ languages
- Over 10,000 Rosary videos shared across multiple platforms
- More than 30 million hours of Holy Rosary prayers facilitated
- Active viewers in over 100 countries
- Dedicated 10+YouTube channels with 60million+ views
The Rosary holds profound significance in our mission because it was through this beautiful prayer that our founder made his childhood promise to the Holy Mother. We believe that in these challenging times, the Rosary serves as a spiritual anchor, a powerful weapon against evil, and a means to bring peace to troubled hearts. Through Mary's intercession, we seek to unite the world in prayer, one bead at a time.
The Santo Holy Mass Mission brings the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to those unable to attend in person. Through our digital platforms, we provide access to daily Mass celebrations, enabling spiritual communion for the homebound, ill, and those without nearby Catholic churches. This mission ensures that no one is deprived of participating in the central sacrament of our faith due to physical limitations or geographical constraints.
We partner with Catholic media ministries, dioceses, and retreat centers worldwide to televise and share daily Holy Mass. These sacred collaborations allow us to reach physically challenged and ill believers across the globe. We are actively seeking to expand these partnerships to include more parishes worldwide.
We warmly invite Catholic parishes worldwide to join hands with us in bringing spiritual communion to the disabled and physically impaired faithful everywhere. Parishes can partner with us to share their Mass celebrations through our platforms, extending their reach beyond their physical walls and touching souls who would otherwise be unable to participate. This collaboration creates a beautiful bridge between local parish communities and the global Catholic family.
Through God's grace and the generosity of our partners, the Holy Mass Mission has:
- Enabled over 8 million spiritual communions
