For many years the SMA has through its Missionary Association Cards provided people with a meaningful way to remember a deceased loved one, to celebrate an occasion – or to let family or friends know that they are in the thoughts and prayers of the person who sent them a card and, that they will be remembered during the Mass and Prayers of SMA Priests.
Those for whom prayers have been requested are remembered and prayed for during the daily community Mass, offered for donors’ intentions in SMA Houses. The donations given for the cards are an important means of supporting and sustaining our Mission work in Africa.
Up to now people obtained cards either by visiting or telephoning their nearest SMA House. Now, in a new initiative, Mass Association Cards can be ordered online via the SMA Website. Just click on the Cards in the menu on the top of this page. The cards you order will be posted to you promptly. You can of course still use the more traditional means of visiting or phoning your nearest SMA House to request prayers and get cards.
Cards for various times and occasions are available
