Since we first began Wee Believers® and released My Mass Kit, the feedback from Catholics across the United States has been tremendously humbling. We are so happy that our prayerful consideration to start a company which offers playful, innovative and high-quality products which are authentically Catholic has come to benefit so many thus far. We wanted to share a sampling of the feedback so you could understand with us the importance of listening to God’s call in our lives. We have learned this more than ever as we develop tools to enrich our children and perhaps assist them in discerning their vocation from a younger age. Msgr. Stuart W. Swetland, Vice President for Catholic Identity and Mission, at Mount Saint Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, MD said:

“Many of the seminarians at Mount St. Mary’s today began to discern a call to the priesthood while “playing mass” as young boys. My Mass Kit would be an outstanding gift for any family with young boys and would help to foster vocations to the priesthood in years to come.”

We’ve been very fortunate to appear on so many media outlets as we continue to grow Wee Believers®. Gus Lloyd, host of Seize the Day, the morning show on The Catholic Channel on SIRIUS Satellite XM Radio told me during an interview:

“You’ve [Steve] taken a step out in faith; you feel as though God is calling you to do this and you’re doing it. You’re doing what you know is God’s will in your life and I really commend you for that. I think that’s a great thing.”

Msgr. Joseph F. Schaedel, Vicar General and Pastor of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Parish in Indianapolis, illustrates exactly why we wanted to start Wee Believers®

“We have all kinds of toys to prepare children to take on various jobs or vocations in life: dolls for girls to imitate motherhood; weapons for boys to imitate soldiers; little doctor or nurse kits, cars and trucks, train sets. ‘My Mass Kit’ is a great thing for boys to ‘play Mass’ and perhaps begin thinking about becoming a priest.”

Lisa Hendey, Founder and Editor of CatholicMom.com, loved the products for her family! We were so pleased that she shared this with us:

“[My Mass Kit] is high quality teaching tool you will purchase to aid you in the religious formation of your family. I also hope that parishes will consider purchasing the Kit for use in their religious education departments.” She added: “I look forward to sharing a My Mass Kit with my nephews and godsons and opening their hearts even more to the beauty of the Mass… I was so impressed by the product that I ordered one for my nephews Evan and Tyler … When I was vacationing in Chicago, I had the joy of watching my nephews play with their Wee Believers My Mass Kit.”

Testimonies and stories just like these have shown us that we are indeed answering a need. We are blessed to see that the Holy Spirit is working on our hearts daily. We thank you for your prayers and your support of our mission! In Christ, Steve & Joni
