As mentioned in our previous blog post, Ciera and I are getting ready to get married and with that comes a new address where we will begin our married life and, consequently, where we will be moving the business.  The new address is

Benedict’s Beads
C/O Brad Geist
8650 NE Sam Ray Road
Kansas City, MO 64156

If you have sent us a package to our old address in the last few days, please do not panic!  We still have a month of rent left with that house and will be checking the mail every week or two.  We are also having our mail forwarded as well.  But please send any new packages with your rosary repairs, ladderizations, or donations to the address above.  Thank you!

In Christ through Mary,

Brad Geist and Ciera Peterson

Benedict’s Beads

As Ciera and I approach our wedding day in a little more than a month, we are anticipating some scheduling changes that will affect our work with Benedict’s Beads. As some of you may know, it is just the two of us spending our evenings and weekends to provide you with beautiful ladder rosaries. With this on top of marriage preparation, moving into a new home, and our full time jobs – it is going to be difficult to keep our sanity here in our last months before married life! This hard truth leads us to the difficult decision that some of the time we delegate to Benedict’s Beads is needed more in other aspects of our lives at the moment. We will still strive to continue to work on your orders/repairs as we are able, but please expect the following delays as we prepare ourselves for the Sacrament of Marriage:

• Orders/repairs placed before May 12th, 2019 will be completed in a timely manner and will be mailed out as soon as possible.
• Orders/repairs placed after May 12th, 2019 will likely be delayed and will be worked on at the discretion of the rosary makers throughout the remaining weeks of May and the full month of June. The closer we get to our wedding day, the less time we will be able to delegate to Benedict’s Beads, so all orders/repairs will be first come, first serve. Responses to emails may also be delayed during this time. Should you choose rush ordering at this time, your position in our order queue will be bumped forward, but we cannot guarantee when orders will be completed until after July 1st.
• Regular operation will resume July 1st, 2019!

We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience during this busy time. We are so grateful for you, our customers, and are looking forward to continuing to serve you by providing high quality work! As always, thank you for choosing Benedict’s Beads!

In Christ through Mary,
