new prayer cards

Sold singly, or in sets of 25, these beautifully designed prayer cards are now available to supplement each of the religious recognition programs as well as for the St. Anne and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton adult awards. Here are a few ideas for how to incorporate them into your program:

• At the beginning of the program the prayer card can be given to participants as a reminder of their involvement and to encourage families to pray together.
• Given a prayer card with the medal to youth upon completion of the program.
• Prayer cards are great reminders of participation and can be used to encourage parents and children to pray together.
• Hand them out at a parent introduction night or at your first meeting with the participants.
• Encourage Marian devotion or celebrate Marian feasts by distributing the Mary, the First Disciple prayer card to adults and teens alike.
• In parish settings distribute The Spirit Alive prayer card to confirmation candidates and their sponsors.
• Give a prayer card as a small "thank you" to adult leaders at any time of the year to let them know you appreciate their commitment to Catholic youth.
• Consider giving a prayer card to your adult leaders during training or commissioning and to adults when they receive the St. Elizabeth Seton or St. Anne award.
