Why arimathea?

We answered the call to baptize Wall Street

Arimathea’s founder, Daniel Catone, recognized the need for Catholic investment screening based on decades of experience in the financial industry, including leadership roles at firms overseeing more than $5 billion in client assets. Over time, he saw a growing disconnect between the moral convictions of many Catholic investors and the way their capital was being deployed in the markets.

Arimathea has now assembled a team of experienced leaders from various industries, all of whom share a deep commitment to Catholic values.

This is an unpaid testimonial from an actual Arimathea client.
β€œNow there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man, who had not consented to their decision and action; and he was looking for the kingdom of God.”

luke 23:50-51

Taking Courage

St. Joseph of arimathea's story

Joseph of Arimathea is recounted in all four gospels. The stories tell of a rich man who uses his wealth for good, donating his very own costly tomb for the burial of Jesus Christ.

According to the Gospels, Jesus was arrested and condemned for blasphemy because the Sanhedrin, an elite council of priestly and lay elders, saw him as a threat against the temple. His punishment was death by crucifixion, a horrific and degrading execution. In those times, crucified criminals could not be buried in a traditional cemetery; it was considered unclean.

Joseph, known to be a faithful disciple, intervened. In an amazing act of belief and sacrifice, he gave his very own family tomb to honor and revere Jesus with a final resting place and a burial fit for the King of Kings. As a result of this benevolent act of faith, he forfeited his right to use the family tomb forever and would need to carve a new tomb for him and his family.

Jesus rose from the dead three days later. In the end, there was no need for Joseph to make plans for a new tomb, because the tomb that held Jesus was empty. What Joseph had given and sacrificed was returned to him, along with peace and joy. Most importantly, Joseph received the promise of eternal life.

β€œArimathea” was a natural fit for our name. The story of Joseph demonstrates one faithful believer’s major act of moral responsibility to God.

In choosing Arimathea, you are taking a step along that same path by supporting companies that uphold the moral and social teachings of the Catholic Church.Β
