WE GET MAIL! ☕
We completed our Vendor Role work at the Gretna Heritage Festival and are steadily moving forward. Our Sterling Silver necklaces have been quite popular and we’re happy to hear the nice comments you’ve shared with us.
One of our loyal friends wrote us a note about discovering the patron saint of coffee! That's a new patronage for us. She’s a schoolteacher and here is the unique note she sent:
Dear Rob & Everyone at SaintsforHOPE:
“ I was writing trivia questions today. I came across Saint Drogo, patron saint of coffee. Obscure, yes, but perhaps would be a good one to add to your collection. Drogo is also the name of the father of Frodo Baggins in “The Lord of the Rings.” I nominate him as the patron saint of Tolkien fans as well.
Thanks for your awesome work. I’ve been wearing one of your medallions for years now. Keep doing what you’re doing.
All of us sinners can use a bit of HOPE now and then and your medals have offered hope hundreds of times, I am sure. "
That was a great note to receive. We are going to start publishing more of the notes and letters we receive and send out the newsletters more frequently, especially since the Christmas Season has arrived. Where does the time go!?
We always like hearing about saints with different patronages. We are sorry to say we have not seen a Saint Drogo medal so we do not have the patron of coffee, yet .... we do, however, have a great mug to enjoy our coffee out of from goodshpeherdart.com, thanks Jace!
