CARD SHOP  

The Scriptorium cards designed by All Saints Sisters are available by mail as well as at the convent in Catonsville, Maryland. The catalog will be available online beginning in the summer of 2007.  Plants and wildlife abound in the wooded area surrounding the convent grounds. Many of these plants and animals are reflected in the design of the greeting cards and holy cards.

Although the Card Shop must generate income to support the life of the All Saints Sisters and their works, it is more than a business. When the Sisters ship out their cards to a customer, they are also spreading the Word and His love to every customer.

The selection includes Christian greeting cards and holy cards. There are hundreds of items available and are organized by category to the extent that that it is possible as many of the cards reflect issues experienced in daily life.

Size:  Folded greeting cards: 31/2 by 5 inches, Holy Cards 1/12 by 4 inches.

There are few Holy Cards that are designed as Book Marks.

Variations include Holy Cards printed on both sides, packets of Holy Cards with a specific theme, Holy Cards that are tiny, large, and printed on both sides.
