Rose Murnane-Osada

Hi! I’m Rose and I create unique, faith inspired jewelry that combines remnants and relics from bygone eras with stylish, modern designs. You can find my work here: www.etsy.com/shop/RelicsByRose I am a mother of 5 and have a large extended Catholic family. I love learning about our faith, teaching it to my children, and savoring all the rich history of our Catholic faith.   In my “spare time” I started making jewelry out of repurposed vintage and Catholic items. I received boxes of “old junk” from my grandfather that my grandmother had cherished for years. Hundreds of prayer cards with handwritten messages from loved ones and numerous medals on safety pins that I knew had been through more than one World War. I couldn’t bear to let them be thrown away. So, I started incorporating them into modern jewelry designs. I love the idea of preserving our Catholic faith and sharing the beauty of it through jewelry.   My little shop is growing as I learn and experiment more with different artistic mediums and ideas.

Michelle Gelineau

Hi! I’m Michelle. I love Jesus! In 2011, I founded Give Him 5 Ministries as a way to offer support and encouragement to adults and children in their walk of faith. Life is too hard without Jesus and I want EVERY– SINGLE – PERSON to have a personal relationship with Him. My faith has changed my life and I want to help others experience that for themselves. I’m a writer, speaker, composer and musician. I listen to the Holy Spirit and try to follow His lead. It makes for a wild ride!

Monica McConkey

 I am a wife, Mom of 5+ kids, a designer, an architecture school survivor, an author and a crafter and I think that we Catholics are so blessed to have this rich deposit of Catholic Faith, teachings and Traditions!

My husband and I founded a Catholic apostolate called Arma Dei in 2001. In 2002, Pope John Paul II was handed my book in a private meeting and we are told that he flipped through the book and said “tell her to keep doing this”. Needless to say, we have been creating solid Catholic, fun teaching tools and gifts to celebrate and teach the Faith, ever since.

In addition to a craft book and a faith journal, we have created several decks of quizzing cards (including Super Saints!) and over 40 Catholic craft kits packed with Saints, Sacraments, Catechism and fun.

What is your favorite prayer and/or quote?

Quote:

St Therese defines sanctity: “a disposition of the heart which makes us humble and small in the Arms of God, conscious of our weakness, and confident to the point of audacity in the Goodness of our Father.”

Prayer to St Joseph:

“…O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart.

Press Him in my name and kiss His fine Head for me, and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath.”

Favorite Saints: St John Paul II, St Therese, St Padre Pio, St Joseph and Mother Mary

Lorelei Worland

I am a work-at-home-mom to one awesome little guy with autism. I write on my own blog about books, productivity, and everyday faith. What began as a way to rediscover my own interests after 18 months of colic-purgatory has branched out into a small business. It turns out that others love words (book quotes, Saint quotes, snappy quotes, latin mottos) just as much as I do! I offer digital art prints and jewelry with words on Etsy.

to toil and not to seek for rest; 
to labor and not to ask for reward 
save that of knowing that I do your will.
