    Posters and Prayer Cards

     

     Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Patronness of the Americas, is surrounded by those who brought new glory to an ancient faith: the saints of North, South, and Central America. Saints featured are: St. Elizabeth Seton, Belssed Kateri, Tekawitha, St. John Neumann, St. Rose of Lima, St. Martin de Porres, St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, San Juan Diego, and St. Katharine Drexel.

    The poster of Saints of the Americas is suitable for home and school, since both educators and parents are teachers of the children entrusted to them (CCC #2223, 2226, 2252).

    Prayer cards of Saints of the Americas have a prayer appropriate for school or home. It serves as a reminder of the Virgin Mary as the Mother of God and the First Disciple of Jesus Christ.

    Holy Family

    This newest icon from NCEA focuses on the Holy Family: “. . . the ‘domestic church’ where God’s children learn to pray ‘as the Church’ and to persevere in prayer” (CCC #2685, 2694). These may be used with students and faculty to further devotion to the Holy Family or made available to the parents in your Home and School Association.

     

      

    Christ the Teacher

    Christ the Teacher is one of Jesus’ most exalted titles. Jesus spent His ministry as a teacher. This icon serves as a reminder to all who minister in Catholic education that we must model ourselves after Christ, who is our Teacher. All that we do should make Christ the Teacher present to our students.

    The poster of Christ the Teacher is suitable for school and home, since both educators and parents are teachers of the children entrusted to them (CCC #2223, 2226, 2252).

    Prayer cards of Christ the Teacher have a prayer for teachers to begin their day. It serves as a reminder of the sacredness of their ministry.

    Sedes Sapientiae (Mary, Seat of Wisdom)
