OUR BRAND NEW SAINT URSULA, UPDATES, CORRECTIONS & A CHANGE OF PLANS ABOUT PACKAGING!
We have a new Saint, Ursula! Not Queen Latifa’s “Ursula” from “The Little Mermaid.” Although …, Ursula’s story in the Mermaid film is uniquely and unusually similar to our Saint Ursula! She looks after the miserable, lonely and depressed and she sings “on the whole I’ve been a saint.” Curiously her big song in the animated film is “Poor Unfortunate Souls.” We will try to paint her medal with the colors blue, lavender, and purple, and black, as she seems to have been drawn on the big screen. It will be challenging! Ursula seems to be a poor unfortunate soul. Yet, in the end, everything works out fine for the Little Mermaid and everyone “lives happily ever after.”
Reducing Prices, Increasing Prices & Adding Saint Medals with New Prices …. November Newsletter & Happy Thanksgiving!
Many years ago, in 2005 or 2006, after our studio was destroyed because of Hurricane Katrina, we were "displaced nomads" for a year and living near Mother Cabrini High School. We were painting the medals in a tiny apartment on Harding Drive.

News, Comments about Yesterday, Topics, Updates, Follow Ups, Fulfilling the (Unusual but very nice) Request!
We learned a bit more about Arch Angel Uriel, whose name refers to light. Like the new Saint John Henry Newman, he offers hope and says, “Lead Kindly Light.” We have only seen a rendering of Arch Angel Uriel once, in Budapest, Europe, and it was marbled and perfectly sculpted.
Pope Francis Calls for Civil Unions for Same Sex Couples
And some of those very people, the ones Pope Francis has embraced, will have the courage and self-respect, to walk back through the doors of their Church. And so, the lapsed, the marginalized, the men and woman feeling rejected by their religion, will finally be treated with the deserved respect, compassion, and sensitivity the Catechism of the Catholic Church has long demanded.
All Saints Day

Sunday is the Feast Day of Saint Francis of Assisi
Happy Saint Francis of Assisi Day, 3 days early. I am sure if you look around in your town, there is an event where you can have your favorite pet, be it dog, cat, turtle, iguana, ferret, guinea pig, horse, or bunny, blessed. There are lots of saints that look after those animals, but Saint Francis looks after them all too!
First Come, First Served: Pectoral Cross of Pope Francis, Parable of the Lost Sheep & Special Offer
The message is to reach out to the person who has become difficult and disagreeable or perhaps downright mean and inconsiderate. Remember the old saying “Hurt People Hurt People.” When someone is giving you less love, that’s the time to give them more of your love and compassion. Now that is what Jesus would do, and he’s a pretty good role model, in our view, even if you’re a devout, lapsed, non-Catholic, or otherwise.
Safe Travel, Saint La Strada and Joseph of Cupertino
It’s September 18th, so you know what that means! The Frequent Flyer Franciscan Friar, Saint Joseph of Cupertino, is having his Feast Day. He is known as the patron of safe flight. He protects our airlines, Air Force, and aviators. He’s also the patron invoked for help with taking tests. Who knew!?
A New Testimonial from Gary J., Helpful saints for 12 Step Programs, Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous, Al Anon and “One Year No Beer”
We received a very thoughtful, heartfelt note and testimonial from Gary J. yesterday and thought it was a good day to share (with permission, of course). Here is Gary’s note:
“8 Simple Rules for Raising Great Children!” Plus, the Bonus!
Maybe I should have titled this “8 Simple Saints to Help and Guide You While Raising Great Children.”” No matter, though I do have 8 Simple Saints for you!
Retail Stores, Medal Displays, Custom Orders, Andy Cohen & Jorge Cruise
Over the years we have prepared bulk orders for boys’ football teams, baptisms, First Holy Communions, and Conformations, weddings, funerals and other special events. Keep SaintsforSinners in mind when you are planning an event and would like to present a special token or memento, there’s a saint for every occasion and we can pant it any way you like. Keep us in mind.
Wiccans, Witchcraft, Healing Ways & There’s Something about Saint Ann(s) (Anne) (Anna) (Anne de Beaupre)
So, last week I sent medal packages and lagniappe to New England to a man, Neil. After receiving the hand-painted saint medal package, Neil called and left a very nice message and also texted me and said:
