Divine Pilot

Updated: Oct 25, 2025

Voyage to the Port of Salvation

In the mid 1800's Letaille Printing House, a Parisian lace holy card printer released a series of holy cards that were the inspiration of many of the faithful. (Even our dear Saint Therese of Lisieux)

This series was so respected for it's teaching that even The Protestant Sunday School Association of New York released a book that featured only 10 of the holy cards from the series. It has been unknown for awhile as to how many are actually in this series.

 

After nearly a decade of research and careful communication with other collectors and antique art dealers from all over the world, our family is believed to be the only source at this time who owns the collection of 13 in it's entirety. (Though we are always looking for another.) We are pleased to present to the faithful for the first time in history, the entire collection of the Divine Pilot holy card series in this magazine issue of Immagini Sacre.

 

These are the very same images that were the spiritual formation of Saint Therese of Lisieux.

 

Discover the hidden contemplative holy cards of the mid 1800's and the message they carried. In this issue, we have put together a compilation This issue may be the most important issue we ever release.

 

Thank you for your support in this project as we purchase, photograph, document, & reproduce the contemplative holy images of the past.

 

Harvest is in full swing here at the farm, we have 2 more crops left to get off the fields. Please remember us in prayer, as we remember you.

 

May God grace you with holy perseverance to the port of salvation.

What an admirable endeavor, to bring back a beautiful tradition of enriching our beautiful Catholic faith through the use of these holy cards, as St. Thérèse did! I look forward to reading this issue and seeing the cards that struck the hearts of Catholics and Protestants alike.

In a world full of perversion this magazine is a light and a wonderful display of true beauty. It shows the richness of our Catholic tradition. My kids love reading it as well (10, 8, and 3) each issue is like a new catechism to uncover. It is a great gift idea for any Catholic in your life.

I am a HUGE fan of the Catholic Printing Press, and I echo all of the sentiments in these comments. I often buy a bunch of items to have on hand to give as gifts. And I run out very quickly! Love the magazines and am so grateful for the work that you do!

The magazine is just amazingly beautiful and the holy cards fly off the table when I put them out. Let’s just say I’ve seen 500 taken in less then an hour. They are that good
