God is doing something amazing. And we are grateful to be a part of it.

5 Stones is a Catholic nonprofit that partners with mission-driven organizations to magnify their messages of truth, beauty, and goodness. Drawing our identity from the biblical narrative of David defeating the seemingly unassailable Goliath, we seek to be a tool in the hands of the many "Davids" that put their vision and talents at the service of the Church today.

Last year, Dave and Lauren Moore, founders of Catholic Music Initiative (CMI), wanted to host a concert at the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas. 5 Stones worked with their team to create and execute a marketing strategy to quickly spread the word about this event.

Together, 5 Stones and the CMI team filled the Meyerson for a beautiful night of worship and thanksgiving. Read more about this success story here: https://www.weare5stones.com/case-studies/catholic-music-initiative

Some of the 5 Stones team had a great time visiting St. Louis for the beatification of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. What a blessing to be part of such a large event in the life of the Catholic Church in America, and to celebrate a man who touched the lives of millions! You can check out some of their photographs below.

Blessed Fulton Sheen, pray for us!

There are a lot of moving pieces to setting up a successful Giving Tuesday campaign: marketing, donation technology, data, donor communications, customer service, and the systems connecting all of it. You do not have to become an expert in every one of them.

Our team made a checklist of ten things every Catholic apostolate should review before Giving Tuesday arrives (Click the link below!). Give it a look, and then start by walking through your Giving Tuesday experience from beginning to end. Find the places where your team is stretched thin, your technology gets in the way, or your donors are being asked to work harder than they should.

That's your giant. Start there.

But you're not alone. Our agency, technology team, and customer service team work alongside Catholic organizations to solve exactly these kinds of problems, not so you can spend more time thinking about systems, but so you can spend more time carrying out the mission God gave you.

Christmas may feel far away, but for Catholic businesses and apostolates, now is the time to prepare. 🎄

We put together a Christmas planning checklist to help you get ahead on inventory, promotions, fulfillment, customer service, and communications before the holiday rush hits.

Plus, this year Advent begins right in the middle of Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend—making early planning even more important.

Our summer writing intern wrote a blog post on what she learned about Catholic marketing and copywriting during her time with us. She also dove into what being an intern is like here at 5 Stones!

Check out the post to see her insights about what marketing looks like at our Catholic apostolate!

At 5 Stones, we are always striving to answer God’s call in the same way Mary did. Her consistent “yes” is an example we seek to follow each day.

As we celebrate our Blessed Mother's reunion with her Son in Heaven on this Solemnity of the Assumption, we pray for her intercession in an effort to be more like her.

Blessed Virgin Mary, pray for us!

The idea has been sold to creators for over a decade. Make something valuable, and the platform gods will bless you with traffic, conversions, and maybe—just maybe—some passive income while you sleep.

That’s not how this works.

This convenient, profitable myth keeps Big Tech in control and creators blaming themselves when things flop. It’s time to call it what it is: a rigged system where the house always wins. But you don’t have to play by their rules.
