ST. FRANCIS
ICON & NOTE CARDS
St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226) is the founder of the Franciscan Order and one of the most famous and beloved saints of the Church. He renounced worldly wealth, preaching the importance of simplicity and poverty based on the ideals of the Gospel. He was known for his love of nature and animals, especially birds.
In this contemporary icon by Sr. Mary Charles McGough, OSB., St. Francis reveals the Stigmata while surrounded by the brilliance of the natural world – including beautifully rendered birds and flowers. The back of the note card describes significant elements in the icon along with a short biography.

From Conception Abbey
ST. BENEDICT ICON
& NOTE CARDS
Saint Benedict of Nursia lived in Italy from about 480 to 547 AD. He was not the founder of Christian monasticism, but he made an enormous contribution to it by writing his Rule for Monks, still used by a great many monasteries and convents around the world.
Unlike most icons of St. Benedict which portray him as a rather grumpy looking old man, this contemporary icon by Sr. Mary Charles McGough, OSB. shows him at a younger age, abbot's staff in one hand and his famous rule in the other, accompanied by a raven and thorn bush, symbols of his life as a hermit in Subiaco. The back of the note card describes significant elements in the icon along with a short biography.
