Our Newest Medal! Carlo Acutis from Italy! Carlos the “Miracle Keeper” Blessed Carlo Acutis ….
On Friday, June 4, 2021, we hope to finalize our plans for the campaign. One of its features will include petitioning the Vatican to make the Venerable Matt Talbot, canonized as a saint. Who knows, maybe Carlo Acutis and Matt Talbot will be canonized on the same day.
A Quick Note to say two things:
We located a bunch of new medals here in the states and are busy painting them now. One of the new medals is Saint Angela. We finally have Saint Angela! She has been sought after for years and years. There are two pictures of her medal in this newsletter.

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.

But I guess there’s one “Silver Lining:” less green beer will wind up on the bars, floors, streets and sidewalks of New Orleans!
