Beautiful vintage Catholic religious devotional pair featuring a framed “The Parents of a Priest” poem together with a companion framed image of the Holy Family with St. Joseph, the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child.
“The Parents of a Priest” is a touching devotional poem celebrating the joy and sacrifice of parents whose son has entered the Catholic priesthood. The companion Holy Family image makes this an especially meaningful grouping for a priest, seminarian, Catholic family, rectory, parish display, or collector of vintage Catholic religious items.
Both pieces have attractive older decorative frames with naturally aged patina.
These appear to be vintage mid-20th-century pieces; exact date and maker are unknown.
Included:
- 1 framed “The Parents of a Priest” poem
- 1 framed Holy Family / St. Joseph, Mary & Christ Child religious image
The pieces are being offered together as found.
Condition Notes:

The original-style paper backing on the Holy Family frame is significantly torn and deteriorated. Backing on the poem frame also shows age and wear. No restoration has been attempted.
Please see all photographs, including the backs, as they are an important part of the condition description.
