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.

All that we do should make Christ the Teacher present to our students.
