The sacraments are special moments in the Catholic faith that mark important steps in a person’s spiritual journey. They’re often celebrated with loved ones and remembered with keepsakes like our handmade stoles. Even if you’re not religious, knowing a little about these milestones can help you understand the meaning behind the designs.
