Missions and Apostolates

A Story That Travels

Missions and apostolates live on trust: a pastor who books you, a donor who gives again. We build websites that carry your story further than you can travel.

IWhat you need

The Work on Your Desk

For founders, directors, executive directors and development staff.

i.

Bookings

A pastor wants to know what a mission involves, what it costs the parish and which dates are open, without three emails back and forth.

ii.

Donations

Giving should take a minute on a phone, and a donor should know where the gift goes.

iii.

Donor Trust and Reporting

Boards and donors want to see the work: people served, places reached, what their giving made possible.

IIWhat we build

Website, Campaigns and Ongoing Care

Website

  • Booking inquiries that give a pastor what he needs to decide
  • Donation pages that work on a phone, one-time and monthly
  • Stories, speakers and places, told with your own photographs
  • Impact pages you can update as the year goes

Campaigns

  • Year-end and Giving Tuesday appeals
  • Lenten appeals
  • Galas, retreats and events

Ongoing Care

  • A Mass offered for you and those you serve when your site launches
  • Hosting, security and updates we manage
  • Changes by email, done within the week
  • An appeal calendar that follows the Church’s year
