Bring the sacred heritage of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church into your home, prayer corner, or church with this complete 6-card handmade collection — every canonized saint and blessed of the Syro-Malabar Church, together with the apostle who brought the faith to India nearly two thousand years ago.
Each card features a full-color icon on the front. On the back: a short historical biography of the saint — who they were, what they lived, and why the faithful pray to them — followed by a prayer addressed directly to that saint. Cards are standard holy card size (2.5" × 4.25"), handmade in Austin, Texas.
The six figures in this collection:
Saint Thomas the Apostle — According to unbroken tradition, the apostle who brought the Christian faith to India in 52 AD, establishing communities along the Malabar Coast of Kerala that survive to this day as the Saint Thomas Christians. He was martyred near present-day Chennai, and his tomb remains a major pilgrimage site. Every Syro-Malabar saint that follows traces their spiritual lineage back to his mission.
Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara — Co-founder of the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate and founder of the Congregation of the Mother of Carmel, the first indigenous religious congregations of the Syro-Malabar Church. A reformer and educator who shaped the modern Syro-Malabar Church more than any other single figure. Canonized 2014.
Saint Alphonsa of the Immaculate Conception — The first woman of Indian origin ever canonized a saint by the Catholic Church, and the first canonized saint of the Syro-Malabar Church. She bore severe chronic illness and suffering throughout her religious life, offering it entirely as prayer. Canonized 2008.
Saint Euphrasia Eluvathingal — Known as the "Praying Mother," a Carmelite nun whose entire adult life was spent in hidden, continuous prayer at St. Mary's Convent in Ollur. Her sisters called her the "Mobile Tabernacle" for the sense of God's presence she carried. Canonized in the same 2014 ceremony as Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara.
Saint Mariam Thresia Chiramel — Foundress of the Congregation of the Holy Family, known for receiving the stigmata and for a mystical life of prayer alongside deep, practical care for the poor, the sick, and the education of girls. Beatified 2000, canonized by Pope Francis in 2019.
Blessed Augustine Thevarparampil (Kunjachan) — A parish priest known as "Kunjachan" ("little father"), who dedicated his priesthood to serving the poorest and most marginalized communities of Kerala with total humility. Beatified 2006.
Why this collection is complete:
This set represents every saint and blessed the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church has ever produced, together with the apostolic founder of the entire Saint Thomas Christian tradition in India. Unlike larger, older rites with dozens of canonized figures, the Syro-Malabar Church's modern hierarchy dates only to 1887 — which makes this collection a genuinely complete devotional set, not a curated selection.
Handmade with Prayer and Purpose
These are not mass-produced cards. Each one is individually made, prayed over, and venerated before shipping — a tradition maintained to ensure your cards are not just art pieces, but sacred keepsakes. Made with high-quality photo paper laminated to double thickness, built to last a lifetime, not printed on cardboard like commercial prayer cards.
Details:
6 unique cards (front and back designs)
Each card includes a prayer, scripture, or reflection tied to the saint depicted
Suitable for gifting, parish groups, home altars, or daily reflection
Handmade to order in Austin, Texas
Why People Love These Cards:

Deeply rooted in authentic Syro-Malabar Catholic history and devotion
A perfect spiritual gift for Malayali Catholic families, priests, and catechists
Made with intentional prayer, not automation
