We Have New Medals & New Lists
We have a lot of new things to let you know about but since it is early August and everyone is away or on vacation as a “StayCation” because of this Corona19, we will wait and send another note with further details.
Paraphrasing Queen B, "I woke up like this?" Here are 2 Excellent Pictures and a Very Nice Note! We got the coolest note and pictures from Toni Ann in Florida (but born and raised in New Jersey) today!

Actually, Really, Honestly, A Very Short Note & a New Old Policy is Back in Motion, for as Long as Possible….
Hi – Some of you will recall when we first started this little company, back on June 11, 1996. We had 2 hand-painted Saint Medals and Stories, Saint Christopher & Saint Sebastian. They were on laminated rectangular story cards with necklaces attached. We gave them away at a birthday party on City Park Avenue. Gosh, if you have one of those cards, please return it!

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.
Happy New Year, a QUICK Reminder & A Nice Letter That is Actually Also a Testimonial!

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.
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!

www.SaintsforSinners.com and I have started to receive the Self Addressed Stamped Envelopes ( “SASE” ) from readers. I am excited to be able to send out souvenirs from our trip, as I have done so many times in the past.
SaintsforSinners 1st Blog Post - Welcome to rob's corner!
I'll be writing here regularly, reminiscing about our past, commenting about the present, and offering news and updates for the future. Please check back from time to time to read our new posts, help us recall the history of SaintsforSinners in words and pictures, and learn about our new plans and events.
Info on the Arrival of your Packages containing Orders and Gifts
This is just a short update about the packages we have begun mailing out from the Canonization - we sent out almost 100 yesterday so many could arrive today, tomorrow, or later in the week. However, we basically mailed in order of receipt of your requests and some of you made a few different requests! So, that means you will likely be receiving more than one package. Please give us another week before you think we may have made a mistake with your request, but if that turns out to be the case, just send us an e mail or give us a call and we will get things right.
