Large Folder Cards Are Back!

ABOVE: Sr. Mary Peters holds a proof of a Cenacle large folder card (sampled for a wedding) in January 2023. Sr. Mary has willingly accepted to be our Sister liaison for our Cenacle Prayer Card Ministry.

We are very excited that a wonderful calligrapher, Ellie Sassana, of the old Chicago Prayer Enrollment office re-painted our large folder cards late last year for digitization. Because of this, we are pleased to bring back some of our most popular large folder cards in both the blue and white linen folders.

These offerings, 8.75 x 11.25, are hand mounted, full color lithographs with gold foil. You may view the entire selection at cenaclesisters.deluxebrand.com

Please note: "Deluxe Brand" will be what is listed on your credit card statement, when you purchase a prayer card. We are very grateful to Deluxe for use of their ecommerce platform, without which we would not have been able to reimagine and revive Cenacle Prayer Cards. Charges to your card may take up to a week.

Hand Mounted Cards

We are so happy to bring back our large, hand mounted, folder cards, on the same gold foil as before!

While the names are not hand inscribed in gold ink, the folder cards, as before, allow you to share in the joy of a happy occasion, or stand in solidarity or grief for more sorrowful events. And as before, the large folder cards are individually hand mounted upon the gold foil shell.

What are the spiritual benefits of our Prayer Card Ministry? A Mass is offered every month for all those enrolled. They are remembered in the prayers of the Sisters of the Cenacle and members of the Cenacle Family who join in this spiritual ministry.

A portion of the purchase price is remitted to the Sisters of the Cenacle for the benefit of their ministry and life.

Give The Gift of Prayer

Give someone the gift of prayer and express it through the Cenacle Prayer Card Ministry.

What is it? The Sisters of the Cenacle maintain a Ministry of Prayer to fulfill their vocation: the apostolate of prayer.

Who may be enrolled? Anyone may be enrolled in the Cenacle Prayer Card Ministry, living or deceased.

Can they be enrolled for special occasions? Yes. We have verses appropriate for many of life’s milestones. For example: for the deceased, the sick, for anniversaries, birthday, wedding, thank you, and for seasonal occasions such as Christmas and Easter.

"I saw as in letters of gold this word Goodness, which I repeated for a long while with an indescribable sweetness."
