Crafts, Cards, and Icons

Through the centuries, religious have pursued crafts and artwork as spiritual practices and as an expression of their devotion to simplicity and handwork. At the Order of Saint Helena, we encourage sisters who enjoy crafts to practice their art and we offer our creations for suggested contributions. For more information, contact us at sisters@osh.org.

Our crafts include:

* Ministry of Silly Cards by Sr. Faith Anthony

* Original icons and icon reproductions by Sr. Ellen Francis

* Anglican rosaries by Sr. Linda

* Dominican rosaries by Sr. Mary Lois.
