I have seen some really nice religious return address labels on mail coming into my house lately. I have been thinking that is a great way to help spread the faith, honor a saint, etc.
I am wondering where people get labels like this... the ones with Padre Pio on them seem to make it across country and back in record time (no surprise there )
My return address labels have a beach scene with a pink umbrella. I cannot believe it, but I am nearing the end of that roll of 900 in less than a year.
What's on your label?

We have some return address labels with an image of the Holy Family with the phrase "Holy Family be our model and our guide". We also use several religious labels from various charities that we have contributed to or sent Mass cards through.
We don't limit religious messages or images to return address labels though. We like to write Scripture verses or religious quotes in various strategic locations around an envelope or package, as well as using religious stamps or stickers. Whenever possible we also buy extra relgious Christmas stamps to use year round or the newer St. Teresa of Calcutta stamps. Our local post office and regular postman seem to like the extra touches, as we've always received favorable responses from them ~ we hope others along the path our postal offerings travel will be inspired!
BTW, you can also extend your expression of faith to your checks. Ours have a Scripture verse printed on the checks themselves, then we add an additional verse contained within our personal ID lines. I've had numerous clerks comment on them and like to imagine how many people read the verses on them from the time they leave our hands until they finally reach the bank! It's so nice to think you may be touching souls several times along the way, through simple transactions like paying a bill or making a purchase.

Great ideas, Servant!
I have just started putting religious stickers on items that I mail out.
I really like the idea of using the beautiful Christmas stamps year round; I had not thought of that.
I have not lucked out in receiving religious return labels from charities, etc. I do, however, have a multitude of rosaries, holy cards and prayer/saint pamphlets from them, which also come in handy for a variety of things .

We have loads of free address labels sent to us from different charitable organizations. So that's what on our return labels. Some are patriotic, some are religious, some are pro-life, some are just pretty.
I'd like to buy some, but since we have so many here, I only need them for Christmas cards or such.

we use the free ones same as Jenn.
BUT my checks have the phrase "where there is room in the heart, there is always room in the house" on them. Having going on 10 kids gets comments so often.. that I wanted a nice statement going out about that.

We use the free ones we get from American Life League--they say "Pray for an End to Abortion" on them underneath our address.

I order address labels and family "business" cards from Zazzle.
St Michael the Archangel address labels
and
Padre Piobusiness cards for our family.
Handy to have and the kids love them!
MUCH faster service than the catholic stationary company I used before. We got my daughters First Communion prayer cards from them too.
