Sr. Elaine is now in the process of getting settled.  This row house (condo) has given her more space in the house.  There are  three floors....main (no basement, which really delights her) floor, with garage attached; 2nd floor - divided in to three areas, yet open from one end to the other; 3rd floor has the bedrooms, laundry etc.    It is bright and airy.  We also put in a chair lift between main and 2nd; and 2nd to 3rd. which enables those who have trouble with stairs to move about better.
Now Sister Elaine has a car, which is a tremendous help to her.

115 Van Pelt Street has been sold, and the closure will be on June 16th.

Associates and Fellowship: A note from Rev'd Mother Christina has been posted to your respective private areas of this website.  (28May 2010)

 

PRAY with us for...

 

Feel free to join us in our worship and silence.

Typically, Mass is at 7am daily.

All Saints is a traditional Community desiring to uphold orthodox Christian faith and morality and to support the Apostolic tradition in ministry and practice. We are united by our common commitment to the One Lord Jesus Christ, and by the desire to live for Him.

With that unity, and made possible by it, there is great diversity both in our personalities and in our talents. In giving these as an offering to the Lord our communal life is enhanced and the skills and talents of each are used for the benefit of all.

The All Saints Sisters of the Poor are the American Branch of a Society founded in England, and which came to Baltimore in 1872. We are a traditional religious community, living under the evangelical vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. A mixed Life of Prayer and Work enables us to be flexible in meeting whatever needs and ministries present themselves.

About our Greeting Cards

We have been designing and selling greeting cards and Holy Cards for over 40 years but this is the first time the cards have been shown on the internet. This has been quite a challenge as the we have over 600 greeting cards and holy cards. More information about our cards is available on the Card Shop web page Card Shop and to order cards go to  Catolog.  Please note, that on either of these pages there are more links to other pages in the series.

The Catalog web page provides information about the categories of cards available with a brief description of each type  of card.  The largest categories Birthday Cards, Christmas Cards, Holy Cards and Notes have been divided into smaller units to make it easier to search through the many choices that are available.

It is our hope that visitors will be able to move easily between categories and within the larger groups. Do have fun and enjoy the beauty of this ministry.
