Our annual 5 Stones summer picnic gave us a chance to step away from the office for an afternoon of food, family, and fellowship. No one checked their email, and there was absolutely no shop talk!

Praise God for good work, good people, and good weather to celebrate both.

What do you do when your brand is buttoned up but your mission wears sneakers?

Vagabond Missions came to 5 Stones with a brand they felt was too “corporate.” We helped them strip it back, rebuilding their visual identity and messaging from the ground up.

The new brand finally feels as gritty and joyful as their missionaries! It fits the neighborhoods where they serve and is recognizable to the young people they are trying to reach.

When God called David to a mission bigger than himself, he was unsure what the future would hold. Like David, we might be unsure what the Lord has in store for us, and that takes trust.

This can look different for everyone.

Maybe that means seeking help for a project that has already launched, and that’s okay!

We are blessed to have the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in our chapel every day. There are truly no words to describe what a gift this has been to our apostolate!

This week we rejoice in this mystery with the whole Church, echoing the words of St. Thomas: “My Lord and my God.”

Happy Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ!

This was a new one for us:

St. Carlo Acutis Catholic Student Center in Rapid City recently inherited St. Carlo’s Eucharistic Miracles exhibit, and they asked our agency to design the trailer wrap!

We love getting to serve the Church in creative ways, and designing a trailer wrap for such an exciting cause is definitely a project we won’t forget.

Soon, this trailer will be on the road helping St. Carlo’s share a beautiful Eucharistic witness with more communities. St. Carlo Acutis, pray for us!

Happy Feast of Our Lady of Fatima!

Today is the 109th anniversary of Our Blessed Mother’s first apparition to the three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal. To celebrate, we’re entrusting ourselves once again to her Immaculate Heart.

We invite you to join us in this beautiful prayer to Our Lady of Fatima, originally offered by Pope Francis at the Chapel of the Apparitions in 2017.

Pray with us here: https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/prayers/documents/papa-francesco_preghiere_20170512_fatima.html

Just as David reached for five smooth stones when God called him to slay the giant Goliath, when God raises up leaders in the Church, they reach for 5 Stones to help them answer his call.

Sometimes that means building a website and sending emails for a small Catholic eCommerce company.

Sometimes that means shipping hundreds of thousands of books for one of the largest Catholic companies in the U.S.

Sometimes that means being the real person a customer calls when they have a problem.

No organization is too large or too small to work with us. No project is too simple or too complex.

Put simply, if someone is answering Christ’s call to serve the Church, we want to serve them.

We can’t wait to se what the Lord has next for your apostolate. If there’s any way we can support you in your mission, please reach out today! We’re here to help.
