Catholic gifts for a good cause


Thanks to Father Stephanos for the link to the Sisters of Carmel website. They sell a variety of Catholic gifts including rosaries, medals, holy water fonts, and rings as well as CDs, calendars and cards.

The sisters are a cloistered, contemplative order of Discalced Carmelites. They live lives of poverty, prayer and penance for the needs of the world. Their meals are meatless, and on Fridays, vegan.

The picture shows a traditional clothing ceremony of a newly professed sister.

    Hey Dymph,
    I didn't know how else to contact you, so here we go!

    Here's the addy for the commercial with all those Catholics standing up to MJF's lies (OK, Kurt Warner is a fallen away Catholic, but he still has the indelible stamp of a Catholic Baptism on his soul!)
