A new way to experience the Saints. May we, through the veneration of Saints of the past, inspire Saints of the future.
All Saints Museum family. I’m happy to report that our Holy Card Project has been updated to include the September Saints from our Holy Card collection. There are some real power-house Saints between last month and this month. Cards include the Archangels, St. Padre Pio, and the newest Saint, Teresa of Calcutta.
Enjoy, and look out for our next installment for the Saints of October.
God bless,
Come listen to Jacob Huether, founder of All Saints Museum, give a talk on the Saints of California.
“By blood, I am Albanian. By citizenship, an Indian. By faith, I am a Catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the world. As to my heart, I belong entirely to the Heart of Jesus.”. – Saint Teresa of Calcutta
All Saints Museum Family, the wait is over!
Saint Teresa of Calcutta has finally been officially Canonized!
Saint Teresa of Calcutta was born on August 26, 1910 in Skopye, which is in Macedonia. Her father died when she was only eighth years old, and so her mother took care of their family.
When she turned 18 she became a nun and was given the name Sister Mary Teresa after St. Therese of Lisieux.
“Mother Teresa” has become one of the most well known Saints of our times – even considered a saint during her life. But controversy wasn’t far behind her. Like many mystics and holy people, Saint Teresa of Calcutta was sometimes misunderstood. In fact she experienced the “Dark Night of the Soul” (an experience many Saints have had) for much of her life. But she never lost faith, never lost hope. The countless souls she touched brought glory to God. And He was pleased to look down on her.
She died on September 5th, 1997, so her feast day is celebrated September 5th.
Please check out our Saint Teresa of Calcutta Exhibit, where we have a 2nd Class Relic of her given to us by the Missionaries of Charity.
And also view our Live Wax Museum video of Saint Teresa of Calcutta on our You Tube Channel. Don’t forget to subscribe.
The portrait of Saint Teresa of Calcutta in the pictures is from our friends at Portraits of Saints. Please visit their site and support their ministry – inspiring people through the Saints.
Saint Teresa of Calcutta, Pray for us!
All Saints Museum Family,
Our Holy Card Project page has been updated with several August Saints. Although we love all the Saints, there are several August Saints that are my personal favorites. One of them is Saint Rose of Lima – who happens to be the patron Saint of Peru where my wife and her family hail from. Another favorite Saint of mine is Saint Philomena. You can learn more about St. Philomena at the following links:

God bless, and enjoy the final weeks of Summer.

There is a rich history in the Catholic Church for the use of Holy Cards. This very pious practice dates back to the 1400’s in Europe. The earliest “holy card” was a wood block print of Saint Christopher dated to 1423. You can learn more about the history of holy cards at the following links:
All Saints Museum has an art project in the works that will require holy cards, and we also enjoy donating “used” holy cards to those who need them most. If you have duplicate cards, or used cards that you don’t want anymore, please donate them to All Saints Museum (P.O. Box 53356, San Jose, CA 95123) – we are a non-profit and 501c3 company.
We’ve also added a few “July Saints” into our Holy Card Project Exhibit. Please check this out!
God bless,
All Saints Museum
All Saints Museum has added a the Blessed Virgin Mary Exhibit to our collection. Please take a look. The last picture in at the link is one of the most interesting finds we have. It is an African Virgin with the Blessed Infant Jesus. This image demonstrates the universality of the Church and Mary’s motherhood for all. I hope you enjoy.
God bless.
How beautiful to contemplate the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. All Saints Museum has updated our Holy Card Project exhibit to include cards of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
We sholuld always keep in mind that Our Father is the creator of all things visible and invisible. Our human hearts are visible, but they in a sacramental way point to the heart of our soul which is invisible. Jesus recieved His human heart when Mary said yes, and she then concieved the Sacred Heart by the Power of the Holy Spirit – and this was a reflection of what was happening in her Immaculate Heart.
Jesus and Mary be with us always! Amen.
All Saints Museum is still in the process of finding a “home”. But we are continuing to add to our growing collection, and we want to be sure to share with all of you.
Please check out our latest Saint Philomena Exhibit! And check out all the rest of our Exhibits.

Saint Joan of Arc was only a teenage girl, but that didn’t stop her from leading the French in battle against the English to reclaim the crown. It was God’s will of course, and Saint Joan of Arc was open to His plan for her, no matter how improbable. She believed in the Power of God, that “All things are possible with God”.
Please see our Saint Joan of Arc Holy Card in our Holy Card Project, among other Holy Cards. We will continue to add new cards as they coincide with Feast Days.
Saint Joan of Arc, Pray for us!
God bless,

Many students will be graduating over the next few weeks. Let us remember the value of an education; that its value lies in how it can help us to be good stewards of the gifts God has given us. Let’s pray for all these students, that they may use their educations to glorify God in all they do. Amen!
Please take a look at our Holy Card Project for our Holy Graduation Card, and many more.
God bless!
