The League does a great job promoting the cause, with membership spanning the globe, always sharing the story of Karl's saintly life and renowned virtues.
This 5-piece Roman chasuble set was made exclusively for the Gebetsliga by Portugal-based Emblematik.
Founded in 1990, Emblematik is a bespoke vestment atelier based in Fatima that specializes in hand-embroidered vestments. Driven by a deep appreciation for the rich history and tradition of vestment making, they also produce impressive vintage-looking bullion, employing old-world techniques to preserve this lost art that is thankfully making a comeback (and important for the decoration of precious mitres).
The new vestment set honors Blessed Karl’s devotion and commitment to beauty and devotion in the Sacred Liturgy.
The chasuble is made of a fabric blend called silk lamé in the style of Gammarelli, making it shine due to the silk threads woven with threads of metallic fiber, providing a shimmering finish to the fabric. Once a common sight in Rome, this rare fabric is making a comeback due to its high measure of artistic merit. It is finished with wavy metallic French galloons.
The back of the chasuble displays the emblem of the Prayer League, in an elegant Baroque cartouche, hand-crafted in the style of bullion, complete with a red glass stone in the middle. The set is lined in scarlet in honor of Blessed Karl's devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Lastly, also produced was a decorated pall for the chalice (see below). Similar to the chasuble, it displays the arms of the Prayer League in the rare style of gold bullion.
