Commemorate the Sacraments of your loved ones with a splendid, timeless certificate for Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation. Originally made around 1900 by the great French holy card company, Bouasse Lebel, it still looks beautiful today, and will look beautiful 100 years from now because the classics don't go out of style.

Write the name of the person in the blank line at the top of the middle section. The other blanks should be filled in as follows:
'on' means the date.
'at' means the church.
'by' means the priest.
'as' means their confirmation name.
Optional: There is room underneath all three sections if you want the priest or Bishop to sign in that blank space.

Your loved ones will most likely keep their certificate their entire lives. We print on acid-free paper with archival quality pigments that will not fade for at least 200 years if kept dry and out of the direct sun.

We don't personalize these with a computer font because we think that it would look best to have them all written out in handwriting -- more than likely the same handwriting. :)

If you get the special framed version, it comes without a brown paper dust cover glued on the back. That way, you can take the certificate out as you update the sacraments. We offer this in a really beautiful frame, the same for both sizes.

God bless you. Help your loved ones appreciate how profound the Sacraments are, now and forever.

By the way, we think the woman in blue at the Baptism is Mary. She will stand in as the divine Mother to your child.
