Each year we offer a different collectible prayer card, with a different prayer written by a different krewe member on the back, and a different medieval-based image on the front. 

This year's prayer is by Josanne Sjostrand, Army veteran and member of the Women Warriors group that marches in our parade: "Dear St. Joan of Arc, brave, beautiful and faithful warrior of God. Help me to stand strong against the enemies of Jesus Christ in a new world that seems so strange. Help me to be confident and not afraid even if everything seems to be going against me. Help me to recognize that my joy comes from doing the will of God and not my will. Help me to help neighbors in their time of need. Thank you for keeping me company as you march next to me to victory with our Lord Jesus. " 

For 2024, the central image of the prayer card is "Le Porte-Drapeau Plus Elevee," an original work by mural artist Max Bernadi of New Orleans, which tied for first place for our 2022 Joan of Art juried art show at Ariodante Gallery. For 2024 and the last several years, the prayer card frame is based on the Book of Hours of King Charles VIII of France, made in the late 1400s in Paris. François Barbier painted the border miniatures. 

Foot Soldier members MAY purchase prayer cards.
