    All orders ship with tracking. Book-only orders ship via media mail, and the average time in transit is 3.6 days for USA shipping.

    Shipping costs are determined by the weight of the package. Click here for a chart of shipping rates during launch.

  • APO and FPO: These options are available at checkout. Transit time and ship cost may vary from shipping within the USA.

    Canada: We made the difficult decision to discontinue the Canadian specific version of the ESS Mass journals. However, we have received permission to ship the USA translation of the ESS Mass journal to Canada! Pre-order for Canadian customers is available for a limited time from October 4-13 from Modern Catholic Goods here.

    Other international locations: We’re sorry that we do not offer other international shipping at this time! We hope you can instead utilize our digital download offerings and reflections.

Just send us a picture of the issue at hello@everysacredsunday.com and our customer service team of wonderful Catholic ladies will get it fixed for you!

  • Order adjustment and cancelations: Due to the current real-time fulfillment systems we have in place, we’re not able to make adjustments or cancel orders after they are placed. If you do end up needing to return something, our return policy is below. If you’d like to add more books, the best way is to place a separate order.

  • Do you own a Catholic bookstore or giftshop? Learn more about our wholesale program here.

  • We love working with other entrepreneurs, creators, podcasters, and more! You can contact us here to inquire about collaborations.

  • The Catechism states that businesses are “responsible to society for the economic and ecological effects of their operations” (2432) and we take this to heart!

    All of our ESS books are made in the USA at a Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified printer that also recycles all leftover inks and scrap materials. To minimize shipping transit distances, we distribute inventory across multiple USA warehouses and ship in boxes made with both FSC certified and recycled materials.

    We have also completed a strategic sustainability evaluation with Siembra Studios to develop ongoing stewardship goals aligned with our values as a Catholic small business. It’s a topic we enjoy learning about and we’re excited to continue growing in this area!

  • Mission: Our mission at Every Sacred Sunday is to invite each person into deeper relationship with Christ by creating spiritual resources inspired by the beauty of the Catholic Church.

    Statement of belief: Our religious beliefs are summarized in The Nicene Creed of the Catholic Church.

    ESS Motto: Our motto is simple — Say “Yes!” to God, one Sunday at a time. When we first started ESS in 2017 (read the full story here!), we had no idea how saying “Yes!” to the seemingly crazy idea to create a Mass journal would change our lives. We are forever grateful that the Holy Spirit put this journal on our hearts and we’re just so excited to see what God will do with your “Yes!” this year!
