St Alice of Schaerbeek Medal

St Alice of Schaerbeek Medal

A die-cast St Alice of Schaerbeek medal supplied wholesale to disability and blindness ministries, Cistercian communities, religious-goods stores, and online resellers. Each piece is struck in Italy from durable zamak alloy and finished in an antiqued silver-tone, with sharp relief on both faces and a soldered jump ring ready for a chain, cord, rosary, or keyring. The front shows St Alice as a veiled Cistercian sister and is inscribed “St. Alice”; the back bears a flaming Sacred Heart encircled by a crown of thorns. Each medal measures 22 × 16 mm (about ⅞ × ⅝ inch), and the oxidised finish resists tarnish and keeps the engraving legible through years of daily wear. Medals are supplied in packs of 10, with volume pricing on larger quantities and a low minimum order.

Saint Alice of Schaerbeek (c. 1220–1250), also called Adelaide or Aleydis, was a Cistercian lay sister at La Cambre Abbey near Brussels. Entrusted to the convent as a child, she contracted leprosy in her twenties and was placed in isolation, later losing her sight and becoming paralyzed. She bore her sufferings with patience, offering them for sinners and the souls in purgatory, and drew her deepest consolation from the Holy Eucharist. She is venerated as the patron of the blind and the paralyzed; her feast is June 15.

For buyers, the medal serves a clearly defined audience: ministries to the blind and visually impaired, apostolates for the paralyzed and physically disabled, chronic-illness and hospice chaplaincies, Cistercian and monastic gift shops, Eucharistic devotion, and name-saint gifts for anyone called Alice. The compact oval suits display cards, blister packs, and counter merchandising, and pairs naturally with chains or cord stocked alongside it.
