Reddit mentions of Leatherette 20 Page Prayer Card Holder Wallet with Gold Stamped Budded Cross, 5 Inch

Really wanted to share this as I am really happy I did it!


I haven’t been a very good godparent for my little nephews, I attended the usual ceremonies like baptism and first holy communion but as they are both old enough to read now I wanted to start to become involved in their prayer lives.


I heard someone mention years ago how they used to collect prayer cards and I thought as kids love to collect cards as a way of ordering things I decided to try this out.


I found out their favourite colours and ordered leather credit card holders from Amazon, the ones with the 20-25 clear sleeves inside so you can read both sides of an inserted card.


Now each time I go to confession I will pick up a couple of prayer cards (much cheaper from local church giftshops) and post them down with a holy card from the giftshop. Its really cheap to send something so lightweight and also helps me maintain contact with the little buggers as I normally forget all about them. Hopefully they will retain not just the prayer cards themselves but also my little holycards too and the short contact messages I include every 3-4 weeks.


Eventually I may run out but there are enough cards there for a good few years and by then I will have felt like I have contributed a lot more to their spiritual development than the nothing I probably would have done otherwise.


My sister was delighted at the idea and the kids seemed happy too when they text me, probably strong-armed in to it by the mother though lol Let me know if you think it’s a good idea and you are going to try it! :O) God bless.


edit: /u/conparco kindly found this beautiful holder that fits the longer cards!

Yes, I found it on Amazon. For anyone looking to buy one, please check out your local Catholic bookstore before buying online. Not only was this cheaper, but it’s always good to support small family-owned businesses!
