Life is a gift from God. What we make of it, is our gift to God.”

This is the belief from which 40fied, a Catholic Australian brand, was born.

Since 2008, Liz and Mervyn have provided creative solutions to various Catholic entities such as schools, parishes, Dioceses, Archdioceses and corporate organisations Australia wide, and continue to do so. Prior to this, the couple have spent more than a decade in mainstream secular design industry, working with international advertising agencies and major design houses across the globe.

Established in February 2016, 40fied is a labour of love by Liz and Mervyn, targeted to enhance the spiritual journey of each and every Catholic, young and old, and promote the teachings of Christ.

Graduated from the same design college, little did they know that getting together was not a coincidence but part of the Almighty’s plan. Brought up in the belief that along with daily meals, the family rosary is an essential requirement of sustenance, the couple has always felt a calling to give back what was so generously given to them – their unexplainable gift of conceptual visual art.

A few years back, while voluntarily teaching catechism to a class of 30 or so primary school students, Liz felt a tap on her shoulder and an inner voice calling the couple to a bigger mission. 40fied is a humble attempt to answer that call, as it produces new faith-filled gifts and resources that are constantly inspired by the Spirit.

Just like St Peter, Mother Teresa or even our own St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, this journey has not been an easy one, but with your support, advocacy and prayers they hope to nurture this vision.

God Bless us all.
