Holy Hour Postcard

Years and years ago my mom gave me a card, to let me know she'd offered a Holy Hour for me. I've kept that note forever, it being such a wonderful, tangible reminder of prayer. That card inspired me recently to design these Holy Hour postcards, that you can share with someone you've prayed for.

Details:

• The postcards are 6 x 4 inches and I've included three different color versions in the PDF (with two postcards per page).
• I'd recommend printing the postcards on card stock (especially if you're going to put them in the mail).
• Adjust your printer settings to highest quality output, for the best results.
• Each of the files are set up with trim marks, for cutting. Not familiar with trim marks? To use, line your ruler up with the little marks, which will give you your cutting lines. If that's a new thing for you, try googling "crop marks cutting tutorial" for some great tips and videos. And if you get totally stuck, feel free to email me!
• To save the file, you'll need a Dropbox account (it's free). If you don't want to have to create an account, though, you can always select "print" and then "save as PDF."

Hello!

Welcome!

My name is Abigail, and Petronille Press is a Catholic art and goods shop that I run. I've spent the past ten years illustrating mostly for the children's and surface design markets, which I've loved.  But lately I've felt a tug at my heart to create artwork that reflects the faith more deeply, which is how this space came to be.

Over time, I'll be offering prints, fabric, embroidery patterns and more. And free printables. Lots of printables.

But why Petronille Press? Since my teens, I've had a devotion to Saint Anne, thanks to visiting the shrine of Sainte Anne de Beaupré, in Québec. Not far from the basilica is an island, the Île d'Orléans, and the village of Sainte Pétronille. The village parish church is dedicated to its namesake, the Roman martyr, Saint Petronilla. History isn't clear just who Petronilla was, but it's theorized that she was the (possibly spiritual) daughter of Saint Peter. And there's something about that connection between the two saints that captures my imagination and speaks to my heart. So when it came time to naming this creative pursuit, the hidden little Roman martyr immediately sprang to mind and her connection to a place I've loved so many years.
