Our Lady of Guadalupe canvases, made by a New Jersey business
Primos Maternos is in Tinton Falls, NJ. We print the tilma image on canvas from a digital archive of the Sacred Original certified in Mexico in 1998 as a faithful reproduction, and ship it free to every county in the state.
Where we are, and what that means
Saxon Enterprises, Inc., trading as Primos Maternos, operates from Tinton Falls in Monmouth County. Orders ship from here, and shipping within New Jersey is free, as it is to the rest of the 50 states and Puerto Rico.
Two things about this image are worth being exact about, because most sellers are not. The image lineage is Mexican: it descends from a digital archive of the Sacred Original that Cardinal Norberto Rivera Carrera certified in 1998 as a faithful reproduction. The canvas itself is printed in the United States. Both Mexican certifications travel with every order, and both are published in full so you can read them before you buy anything.
Everything ships. There is no in-person pickup, so being nearby saves you nothing but costs you nothing either: shipping is free across the state either way. For a parish or school order, or anything a checkout page does not cover, write to wfleonard@primosmaternos.com.
Every diocese in New Jersey, and every county
New Jersey's twenty-one counties fall under five Latin-rite dioceses. We ship to all of them, and parishes and schools in any of them can order in quantity.

For New Jersey parishes, schools and diocesan offices
The 24" × 36" rolled canvas is what institutions order most, because it ships flat in a tube and can be framed to match the building it will hang in ($114, free shipping). The 36" × 54" suits a chapel or a parish hall, where the piece is meant to be seen from across the room.
Purchase-order invoicing is available for diocesan orders. There are pages written for each case: parishes, Catholic schools and diocesan programs.
On size, resolution and what arrives in the box, the size guide has the numbers: 575, 287.5 and 191.7 pixels per inch for the three sizes, with nothing enlarged to fill the canvas.
December 12 in New Jersey
The feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is December 12, and the novena runs December 3 through 11. Parishes that order a rolled canvas need it in hand with time to stretch or frame it, so mid-November is the point to decide rather than the first week of December. The full novena is on the site to pray or print, free.

Questions from New Jersey buyers
- Where can I buy an Our Lady of Guadalupe canvas in New Jersey?
- From Primos Maternos, based in Tinton Falls in Monmouth County. We print on canvas from a digital archive of the Sacred Original certified in Mexico in 1998 as a faithful reproduction, and ship free anywhere in New Jersey, in three sizes: 12 by 18 inches, 24 by 36, and 36 by 54.
- Do you ship to my part of New Jersey?
- Yes, to every county in the state, and shipping is free. That covers all five New Jersey dioceses: Trenton, the Archdiocese of Newark, Metuchen, Paterson and Camden.
- Can I pick up a canvas in person in New Jersey?
- No. Primos Maternos does not offer in-person pickup. Every order ships, and shipping is free to every county in New Jersey, so an address in Monmouth County and one in Sussex County cost the same: nothing.
- Can a New Jersey parish or Catholic school order in quantity?
- Yes. Parishes, schools and diocesan offices order the 24 by 36 inch rolled canvas most often, because it ships flat in a tube and can be framed to match the building. Diocesan orders can be invoiced against a purchase order.
- Is Primos Maternos a local New Jersey business?
- Yes. Primos Maternos is operated by Saxon Enterprises, Inc. of Tinton Falls, New Jersey. The image lineage is Mexican and the canvases are printed in the United States; the business itself is in Monmouth County.
- When should a New Jersey parish order for the December 12 feast?
- By mid-November for a rolled canvas, which still needs stretching or framing after it arrives, and by the third week of November for a framed or gallery wrap piece. The feast is December 12 and the novena runs December 3 through 11, but orders take five to ten business days to leave us before carrier transit, which is the step people forget to count.
