Letters from our Friends

I cannot possibly express my gratitude to you for all the letters you send to Vatican Gift.
This is a little collection to say to everyone: thank you !

Dear Sonya,

I wanted to thank you. Please forgive me for taking this long. A few months ago, as His Holiness John Paul II was going back to heaven you sent me the most beautiful package I have ever gotten. I have never seen such care in packaging the treasures I ordered from Vatican Gift. Those gifts will be passed through the generations of my family. I also wanted to tell you that the items I got as gifts have made my Mom, Sister and friend so very happy and thankful. You really have a wonderful ministry in doing what you do. I can't thank you enough. Knowing that he blessed them has brought comfort and protection and I have needed both. Thank you.

May God Bless and Always be with you,

Natalie

Dear Sonya, I'm writing from home today.

Sonya,
I received the beautiful rosaries today. Thank you. The presentation
with the Blessing cards from Pope John Paul II is a priceless gift and I
will cherish them forever.
My mother will receive them for Mother's Day and my sister will receive
them for her birthday tomorrow!
God Bless you.
Mary Ann

Dear Sonya,
Thank you so much for the wonderful photo of His Holiness John Paul
II that you included with my order. What a wonderful surprise! You are
such a kind and thoughtful person to do that for a person you have never
met. I'm going to frame it and put it on my mantle for all to see. I'll
treasure it always. Sincerely, Betty

My name is Eric, and I live in Richardson Texas in the U.S. I wanted to say thank you for the rosary. It is nicer than I expected, and it arrived only two days after you sent it. My wife, and my mother in law were very impressed with the rosary, and they want me to order for them each a rosary blessed by the Pope. So sometime after the Holidays, I will do so. Have a happy Christmas with all of your family. Thank you.

Sonya,

The rosaries are excellent. When I need another one for someone else, I
will definitely buy from you. I just gave one to one of my coworkers
(she acts like my grandmother) and she was speechless. Thanks for your
help with getting me the rosaries and I look forward to buying from you
again in the future.

Thanks,

Aaron

Dear Sonya,

The medal of St. Josemaria Escriva arrived today, and it is beautiful.
I feel it will be an inspiration to me in my daily life.

Thank you and God bless you.

Warmest regards,
James

Sonya,

I was shocked when i opened up my UPS package,.. those Rosaries, are so beautiful, i called my sister Rosanne, to tell her what happened and how they were blessed by Pope John Paul II, and i also told her when i leave this world, and go to God, that i want those with me! I been so down with loosing my mother and all the medicines putting weight on me, you made my day so much, i can't thank you enough!!!

Sonya, when i went to Italy a few years back i visited s. philomena's shrine and meet father giovanni, she is one of my favorite saints, i will say a pray to her for you, to bless you and thank God and his Mother for making such wonderful people in this world, that can make a smile on some ones face, Thank you again, and again & again

Hello Sonya, I received my rosary today and I wanted to thank you for
making sure it was blessed by John Paul II. The little calendar and
picture book are great! I cried when I opened it! Thank you very much!

Michele from Missouri, USA

to the dear staff at vatican gift.

today my husband and i set our alarm for 3 a.m.
to watch and say our final farewell for our
beloved Papa.

both my husband and i were raised catholic, but were never practicing.

when our two sons were borns, we made a concerted
effort to try to live life more christian and try
to have them accept our religion, not have it
forced upon us, like our polish parents. we are both polish.

thank you so much for sending us rosaries that
were blessed by Papa just before he died. it
looks like Easter weekend.

we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

also, a special thank you for the special branch,
that was included in our package. can anyone let
me know what kind of branch it is?

needless to say, it was a blessing to receive
these rosaries while i was watching the news and
reruns of the funeral.

our most kindest regards, from toronto

I just wanted to let you know, I have just received the rosary and medal today. This is the most beautiful rosary I have ever seen. I had my co-workers crying when I told the where the items came from, and why I had bought them.

Hello Sonya,
I received the order this morning.
Everything is perfect. The rosaries are beautiful.
Also, I'd like to thank you for the little St Benedict crucifix you
added to the shipment.
May God Bless you,

Anne-Sophie

Sonya,

We received the Rosaries the Friday before Christmas. They are so
beautiful and are very cherished in our household. Thank you very much
for fulfilling our request of having them blessed by the Holy Father
during general audience.

Have a blessed New Year!

Jennifer

Dear Sonya,

Thank you so much for your kindness,

Blessings and Joy!

Dear Sonya,

Thank you so much for all of you help and kindness in arranging for my parents Gifts. My sister received the Rosaries and said they are absolutely beautiful. I know my parents will be thrilled when they see them. And a special thank you for the rosary you send me -- it was very kind and thoughtful of you.

Once again, many thanks for your support and gift,

Sincerely,

Lorena

Dear Sonya

The rosaries arrived this morning. Questi sono bellisimo. Tante, tante
grazie. God bless you and thanks for the special St. Benedict crucifix.

Diane

Dear Sonya,

The Rosary blessed by the Pope arrived today ... it is beautiful and I am
very pleased to have it. I am also very pleased to have the lovely crucifix
you enclosed. Thank you very much.

Elizabeth

Thank you so much for the rosary-my mother was very very happy to
receive it, but we were wondering what the floral scent was that came
from the pouch that held the rosary. we ordered the blue crystal 4
basilicas rosary and it had a very strong floral scent but we did not
know for sure what scent that was. Would you happen to know. thank you
again for the blessed rosary, that is a great honor.
Gloria

Thank you very much for the speedy delivery and beautiful gift which I received yesterday.

Regards

Michele

- Dear Sonya,
Just to let you know that not only did the Gifts and Rosary arrive in good condition, but it came to Christopher right on his birthday, it was most memorable.
Thank you for all your help and God Bless you.
Love and Prayers
Mary

- Dear Sonya,

Thank you again for your attention and for making this order so easy for us!

And thank you for your best wishes!

Blessings,
Susan

Dear Sonya,

You are truly an angel. My Aunt will be so touched because she loves
the Holy Father.

I couldn't have ever accomplished this without your help. God bless
your efforts and keep you safe.

Our party is on Sunday and many friends and family will be there to
celebrate. Please pray for our country, our world that peace will reign.
The devastation that occured here has touched so many families. It was
unnecessary suffering. The scene in New York and the one at the Pentagon
is unbelievable.

Thank you again. I pray that you and your family will be safe.

Arlene

-Dear Sonya,

Thank You Thank You! The beautiful blessing, rosary and crucifix
arrived last evening. It is truly a work of art.

I don't know what to do to thank you enough. God bless you always.

p.s. What is your job in Rome?

Arlene

-Dear Sonya,

I received the beautiful rosaries this past week.
They are very special. Thanks so much for the kind
words. It has really been a traumatic few weeks
following the terrorist attack. I know that God will
help us. Take care and God bless you.
