The Environment from a Catholic Perspective by Marilyn Nash
The environmental crisis is a crisis for which we are all responsible. Perhaps everyone does not view it from the same perspective as a saint or pope but we all bear some responsibility and we must recognize and take responsibility.
A very quick update, new medals, new store in Chicago, and a new offer about the Patron Saint of Athletes, Saint Sebastian
We are so excited that we heard from Kim M. in Geneva, Illinois, and now will be selling our medals at a new store! They have a great ministry where they comfort caregivers with a Caregivers Coffee Hour, among other things. If you are in or near Geneva, Illinois, visit The Catholic Shop of Geneva. The medals are in transit though, so wait until next week to see our hand-painted medals. Invite your friends nearby to go see our new medal display too!
Happy New Year, a QUICK Reminder & A Nice Letter That is Actually Also a Testimonial!

Christmas Review of Orders Sent, Sharing Some of Our News and Celebrating the Paton Saint of Friendship & Loyalty
Today we celebrate the life of Saint John the Apostle, the great friend of Jesus and the lone Apostle who loyally stood by him throughout his entire life. No wonder he is classified and known as the Patron of Friendship. We say Saint John is also the patron of loyalty too.
Merry Christmas 🎄 to All Our Loyal Customers!
We here at www.SaintsforSinners.com have been hard at work, like little elves you might say, to make sure we get all of your orders out on time. We think we got everything out right, and into your hands to gift to your loved ones by Christmas Day. If not, we tried!
A Very Quick Note & Announcement!
We are happy to say that we are officially caught up with our orders for Christmas. So, if you would like to place an order, or another order, we can get it to you before Christmas, for sure! Except … There’s a “But.”
A Reminder and Update!
It’s December 3rd and we are still completely up-to-date with year 2019 orders and we have even been able to say “Yes!” to Special Requests too ... so far! I say this every year: “Maybe this will be the Christmas Holiday where we do everything right!”
It’s Thanksgiving week...
It’s Thanksgiving week - the time to appreciate the bounties of our harvests, our loved ones, our families, our friendships, and our lives. Happy Thanksgiving to all, even those of you in Canada and the other continents where my e-mails arrive.
A Quick Note from SaintsforSinners That’s Only Five Paragraphs Long!
We have been enjoying making the new crosses with the medals we dug up after the flood and also using the medals that just did not quite make it through the creation phase for one reason or another. “THE MISFIT MEDALS” were in a big bin with nowhere to go because they are blemished in some way but we could not ever throw them away….
We are very surprised by the interest in sales of the flood medal crosses!
We have recently seen an increase in interest at SaintsforSinners for our Flood Medal Crosses (pictured above). These crosses have medals that were either recovered from after Hurricane Katrina, or medals that didn't quite make it through final inspection to sell. We are so excited that you like them!
Hi, this is Emily. Just writing a few lines
because Rob is away and I’ve got to share this with everyone!
We received the sweetest SaintsforSinners testimonial from Shirley Lewis today:
"Today I was at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. and saw your SaintsforSinners medals in the gift shop! It makes me proud and happy! Well done!!"
Thank you, Shirley. You made my day. You made Rob's week, I'm sure. Thanks so much! I can't wait until he sees this.
