Before You Order
Ordering for an Event?
Alto can be a meaningful takeaway for conferences, retreats, parish missions, formation programs, and other Catholic events—something attendees can bring home and continue using long after the event is over.
Because each edition of Alto is created for a specific calendar month, please order well in advance of your event to ensure the appropriate edition is available and can arrive on time.
Printing & Shipping
Because of how monthly periodicals are produced, we need approximately one full month of lead time in order to get you on the print list for the next edition.
So dependent on when you place your bulk-order, it can take 4—8 weeks from the time you purchase to the time you receive your order.
If you’re ordering Alto for an event or need your copies by a specific date, we recommend ordering as early as possible to allow additional time for processing and shipping.
