I recently discovered this great website, Monastary Greetings. This is the intro from their webpage:
“Dear Friends,
Welcome to Monastery Greetings, a website and mail-order catalog that offer a wide variety of monastery-related products — many which are actually made in monasteries, abbeys, convents and hermitages. These include more than 50 communities in the United States and several in other parts of the world.”
Does my purchase help monasteries and religious communities?
Yes. Your purchase directly supports religious life. Participating monasteries, religious communities, and hermitages earn revenue from each sale of their products. Since many are cloistered and do not have the time and money to advertise their wonderful products, Monastery Greetings also helps them reach a wider audience.
