Welcome...

...and thank you
for visiting my website.
The encouraging words and inspiring images of nature
in these cards can make a treasured gift. Many of the messages in these cards were inspired by homilies
I heard at church. I added images from my collection of nature photography to help convey the meaning
of the homily.

The greeting cards on this website are free of charge for your personal use (click on the thumbnail images
to see the card and inscription), so you may download a PDF (requires Adobe Reader, a free download). Print them on your home computer; fold in quarters and send. Please remember that these are copyrighted images and are for personal use only. They may not be sold or produced commercially.

I’m grateful to Rev. Raymond Sacca, Pastor of the Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland, and Rev. Robert Herbst, who conducts masses at the Cathedral and at St. Barnabas Church in Alameda. They provided the inspiration for many of the messages in these cards.

If you'd like to learn more about the Cathedral of Christ the Light, and find homilies by the Most Reverend Salvatore Joseph Cordileone, Bishop of the Diocese of Oakland, visit oakdiocese.org. I look forward to sharing a few of his homilies in my upcoming Valentine's Day collection!
