The Story of the Healing Prayer Card:  While in hospital ministry, newly ordained Fr. Hess prayed with the sick, using words that spontaneously came to mind.  When he transferred into high school ministry, he had the prayer recorded and printed so he wouldn’t forget it.  That was May of 1980.

Today approx. 5,000 prayer cards are requested each month from all 50 states in the U.S., and from Canada, Ireland, Nigeria, Japan, and worldwide locations.  Requests from Mexico, Puerto Rico and Bolivia necessitated translation to Spanish (blue card).  The many testimonies and healings confirm God’s blessing to those who pray it.  “I only printed it so I wouldn’t forget it.”  God showed that He had other plans.

With the passing of Fr. Hess back in Feb. 2014, his family has taken on the role of sending out the prayer cards to keep his memory and ministry alive and on-going.

The requested minimum donation is $2 for every 10 cards (in multiples of 10), or $10 for 100 cards that covers printing and packaging. We do now ask for a small amount to cover shipping costs that have risen lately, and the card cost itself has not been increased since 2011.  For card amounts up to 50 is $1.50, from 50 up to 100 is $2.75, and then 100 thru 200 is $3.50 (please call or e-mail for pricing on larger amounts).

You can order amounts from any of the 3 different types to equal 100 cards (in multiples of 10, 20, 25, or 50), or from smaller amounts as well (min of 10 though, like 10 y and 10 g or 20 y and 20 g, etc). We sometimes also give away cards to nursing homes, hospitals, and especially children’s hospitals as they were very important to my uncle, with any extra donations received above the card and shipping costs.

There are 3 kinds of cards that can be ordered (all with the same prayer):

1.) Yellow cards – to be prayed by the person that is sick (referencing me, I, and myself)

2.) Green cards – to be prayed by family and friends for or over someone that is sick & that changes the tenses to pray for him/her or a specific name (N), etc

3.) Blue cards – that are printed in Spanish & are for the sick person as well

Please mail a note with your donation listing your total requested number of cards, and by card type/color, & address, and we will mail them to you after receiving your donation (cash, check or money order only).  You can mail a check made payable to “Holy Card Fund” to:
