Commemorate the faith and courage of Venerable Thomas Saleh, a Capuchin Franciscan priest who gave his life for others during World War I, with this double-laminated Maronite Catholic prayer card. Born in 1879 in Bqaa Kafra, Lebanon—the highest inhabited village in the Middle East—Thomas Saleh joined the Capuchin Franciscan Order and dedicated his life to missionary work across the Middle East.
While serving in Syria during World War I, Fr. Thomas risked his life to protect Christian families from persecution. Arrested and exiled in the midst of winter, he endured harsh conditions and eventually died of illness in 1917. He offered his suffering for the salvation of souls, demonstrating deep faith and self-sacrificial love to the very end.
The front of this prayer card features a reverent, lifelike portrait of Venerable Thomas in his Capuchin habit, reflecting his calm strength and holy simplicity.
