Saint Bridget's Diary, Let's Laugh Day
TISCH Jewelry Werks has begun offering our medals incorporated into their jewelry. Our Saint Brigid medal looks beautiful surrounded by precious gems – maybe they are stones – we don’t know – but the finished product is stunning!
A Testimonial from South Carolina, Good News, & Barry Manilow (Barry Manilow!?)
It has been a very long year. The protection from virus Saints, Sebastian and Rocco, may or may not have been asleep at the wheel since last March. But, things are a bit better.
Saint Patrick’s Day is On Its Way! Poll Results & Beer Here!
There’s still time to have one of our hand-painted Saint Patrick medals arrive in time for Saint Patrick’s Day on March 17th. “Saint Paddy’s Day” always reminds us of the huge parades and celebrations in New Orleans every year. Except this year will be lot different because of COVID restrictions and limitations. Lots of green beer will still be indulged. The celebrations will be missed by many. But I guess there’s one “Silver Lining:” less green beer will wind up on the bars, floors, streets and sidewalks of New Orleans!

Ash Wednesday, Lent Madness & Tony Reali (Around the Horn)
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday - it's the first day of Lent, the 40 day period when we decide to improve ourselves and others, by working harder, trying more, caring about and helping those in need, and in the words of the Jesuits, "seeking peace by working for justice." And then we celebrate Easter and the Resurrection. One fun way to become involved with Lent is by participating in "Lent Madness'' - www.Lentmadness.org - Read on to review one of our prior emails about Ash Wednesday, Lenten Vows. And be sure to watch ESPN's "Around the Horn" where you will see the...
Photos of the Saint Valentine’s Day Boxes, Medals, Cards, Chains, Clasps & Lagniappe
Maybe the box we are sending you is in one of these photos - you asked us to send – all the Saint Valentine's Day Boxes are going out today.
The other boxes will go out tomorrow or Wednesday. I know we asked for an extra week or two - extra time to get the boxes done but we didn’t watch much of the Super Bowl and finished up late last night.
New Prayer Boxes, Gratitude Boxes, Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself”
Since a box begs for things to include, we are adding several Hand-Painted Saint Medals, on clasps and on chains. Some of our “love” saints and angels. Plus, the usual prayer cards and lagniappe. We are probably going overboard with the lagniappe this year but it’s intentional. There’s extra time since Mardi Gras is on hiatus. We are very excited to be sending nearly all of these packages out today, February 6th. There are a couple “Special Requests” that we are going to fulfill and send soon too. We will mail items out tomorrow and Monday too, by Priority Mail.
Custom Hand-Painted Prayer Box Update
We have 2 St. Valentine’s day boxes available. Thanks to Mizpah, the Sacred Hearts and red being rob’s favorite color, these boxes practically made themselves (I told rob I need to see a video of this cause I just couldn’t believe it!). If you want to claim one, just order a custom prayer box and put in the notes that you’d like St. Valentine.
It’s a Whole New Mardi Gras this Year! Happy Yardi Gras!
You just can’t make this stuff up. Seriously! There’s a whole new Mardi Gras this year. It’s called “YARDI GRAS.” Folks are decorating their homes as though they are Mardi Gras floats. The family a few blocks away have made a float about the show, “Schitt’s Creek.”
QUICK UPDATE FROM 2021 NEWSLETTER
Thanks for the responses from the Newsletter we sent out the other day. Some of the notes were very moving and very much appreciated.
