Every piece of Step Into Silence exists to solve a specific problem at a specific moment. The billboards, roadside banners, and yard signs reach people on their commutes. Retractable banners in the narthex draw current parishioners into a life of prayer. The signage right outside your sanctuary or adoration chapel takes care of them once they arrive. We help you decide which pieces you will need for a successful launch.
High-contrast signs ("Unplug — stepintosilence.com") placed on parish grounds and key parishioner lawns along high-traffic corridors to build a recognizable local network.
Large-format vinyl banners designed for parish perimeters, parking lot entrances, or sponsored off-site properties like local Catholic businesses. With 4,500 to 50,000 vehicles passing the average parish daily, these street-level invitations turn everyday commuters into chapel visitors.
Positioned directly on church property at the highest-visibility intersection or roadside edge. Displays a warm, clear invitation ("Silence Inside — Light a candle, pray, read, think, all are welcome").
Placed at parish schools, off-site properties, or sponsored by local Catholic-owned businesses (e.g., storefronts, car dealerships on major thoroughfares). Reads: "Stop by a silent chapel near you — stepintosilence.com" to catch high-volume commuter traffic and direct them toward the sanctuary.
A 3-piece retractable display system positioned in high-traffic narthexes and entryways. They set gentle chapel guidelines, display weekly silent hours to Sunday massgoers, and provide a single, low-pressure QR code for visitors seeking follow-up connection.
Establishes clear, gentle expectations for first-time visitors (Respect the silence • All are welcome • Silence phones • Altar area closed). Includes a prominent QR code linking visitors directly to your custom parish page on the Step Into Silent website.
A low-pressure invitation for visitors seeking more than silence. Features a QR code directing visitors straight to your parish page on the Step Into Silence website, where they can choose to contact a local priest, peer companion, or religious sister (where available).
A retractable display ("Unplug Here This Week") listing designated silent hours to remind weekend Mass attendees that the chapel is open for them during the week.
Double-sided A-frame signs eliminate confusion from the street corner to the chapel door. Placed alongside your On-Site Banner, the Status A-Frame gives passing commuters real-time clarity—simply flipped between "We Are Open" and "We Are Closed (See Hours)" by whoever unlocks the building. Further along parking lots and pathways, the Wayfinding A-Frame guides visitors directly to the correct unlocked entrance ("Silence This Way ➔"), while its exit side bids departing guests a warm "Thank You for Coming" paired with a QR code linking directly to your parish profile page.
Set on an entry table. Features 5 simple tips for entering into silence on the front, and 5 accessible scripture verses plus parish contact info on the back.
High-quality full-color posters for display on bulletin boards, parish doors, in local businesses, libraries, community centers, coffee shops, and around the parish. Includes QR code linking to the Step Into Silence™ directory.
These postcards provide parishioners and clergy with a tangible resource for neighborhood outreach. One side highlights the invitation to silence, while the reverse contains the parish address and a QR code linking directly to chapel hours and locations.
This gives the congregation a physical tool to invite neighbors seeking respite from digital exhaustion, providing all the logistics for a first-time visit on a single card.
These postcards can also be used for direct mail campaigns as well.
Dioceses and larger parishes may decide to invest in a billboard campaign to strengthen existing neighborhood-level efforts at local parishes.
Every billboard in this campaign follows the same two or three panel format—a headline that meets people where they are and the Step Into Silence brand. That consistency is intentional. The more parishes run it, the more the Step Into Silence branding becomes something people immediately recognize and understand with time.
Direct and immediate—designed to work on anyone, regardless of where they are in their faith. These billboards are aimed at building curiosity.
Targeted executions lead with something more specific—a fact, a question, a detail that stops the right person cold. These are usually placed in areas where there is plenty of time to read the message (bus stops, traffic light billboards, etc).
Lent and Advent are seasons when even loosely connected Catholics are already asking themselves harder questions. Seasonal creative meets that moment directly. The chapel is the same. The door is the same. The headline just acknowledges the time of year.
Step Into Silence partners with parishes to reach the people traditional channels never will—the unchurched, the lapsed, and the quietly curious. We design the campaigns, advise on placement, and prepare your chapel to welcome anyone who walks in.
