April 15, 2018 - A near future of many photos....

Laying out our plans for the spring and summer! I’ll have my wife, son, daughter and father to help me often with many projects, so we’re aiming high on the “goals”! And before they head back to school in the Fall, we have many boxes untouched and unopened in storage that we’re going to open and see what we discover! This will be one of the last things we do, as its what my children are most looking forward to and will be a “reward” for all they’ve accomplished. Ok, on to the list!

• Finish photographing and posting Chalice and Ciboria photos, this is a significant undertaking as we have upwards of 300 additional pieces still to work through.
• Redesign the chalice area on our website so the photos are organized by price. This will be experimental and may change, however should help seminarians find possibilities quickly within their budget.
• Update all tabernacle photos to include a photo of the inside. (We often get requests for inside photos)
• Update to include all Kneeler photos. (Many sat for years untouched, polishing here we come!)
• Update to most Votive Stand photos.
• Update to all Lectern photos. (A polishing task for orange oil!)
• Update to all Oil Painting photos.
• Photograph a larger selection of the following items: Altar cards, Chasubles, Copes, Hand-Done Lace, Bells, Altar Crucifix, Candelabra, Floor Sanctuary stands, Candlesticks. Plus add more smaller items like Cruets, Intinction sets, Blessing Crosses, Art Prints, Host Boxes, etc.
• Move a couple altars to our larger warehouse, so we can attach the Reredos and photo and list them.

And again I extend my deepest gratitude for all the positive emails and thoughtful conversations we've had -- your appreciation, praise, and support for our mission, as both customer and fellowship, is encouraging beyond words.

August 21, 2017 - Summer. Facebook. Privacy. Busy!

This summer was so busy it blew by! We had a record amount of appointments and were able to get lots of physical organizing done, but not near as many photo projects as hoped. We're going to be taking a lot of photos and sizing the next couple months while the weather is still good.

People have asked us why we're not on Facebook, Twitter, or other social media platforms and external retail sites. It's a good question so I'll address it, We're a very private small company who deal with incredible church items that are impossible to find. While our clients are primarily seminarians, priests and bishops, we also get high profile individuals and companies who need our items for many reasons including renovations, home chapels, rentals for weddings, documentaries, etc.

This doesn't mean we're not being seen. We average around 7500 unique visitors each month browsing our site, with over 50,000 hits per day. The exposure we receive is incredible yet humbling, we're riding the waves and enjoying every minute serving.

March 22, 2017 - Monstrances, Sanctuary Lights. Missal Stands and Tabors next!

Our warehouse can be very cold during the winter! We do have a room to heat and keep you happy when you visit, and when I'm not out of supplies I'll put on a pot of coffee to make it more bearable, but it's tough to keep working for long periods during the winter months. While we are always busy on the digital end, I genuinely enjoy working at our warehouse and am looking forward to what we can accomplish this spring and summer.

So what has been updated since I last brought tidings? We took all new monstrance photos, which also include the luna size as it's something often requested. We also finished most Sanctuary lights, the sizing is based from the top of the votive globe to the bottom of the light. If there's no votive, it's from the votive holder ring to the bottom of the light - I measured this way as the ceiling chains often are resized depending on where the lights will be hung. I'm about halfway through new photos of the missal stands and Tabors, and have another batch of Chalice photos almost done.

Speaking of Chalices, I must offer a genuinely HUGE thanks to "our future" - our seminarians! Thank you so much for visiting, sharing your stories, bringing your families, and telling your brothers about us! Your overwhelming support, visits and praise -- we're honored and humbled having the opportunity to provide a piece of traditional Catholic history that becomes a part of you.
