Support for the Monastery
Please support contemplative life at the historic Monastery of the Precious Blood (Borough Park, Brooklyn) by making a donation.
At this time the sisters are not able to receive requests to make or order any liturgical items. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
“Ora et Labora”, Pray and Work.
Our community makes a variety of liturgical items, including chasubles, altar cloths, linens for the Mass, rosaries, and scapulars.
The alms given for such items will support our community’s needs. “In our Monasteries, we seek to live perfect poverty, that is to say, living on alms, so that no works will be undertaken for the purpose of profit… The practice and spirit of poverty helps us to trust and rely in an absolute way, upon Divine Providence” – SSVM Monastic Rule, 103, 106.
At this time the sisters are not able to receive requests to make or order any liturgical items. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
All items are made by request only. If you are interested, please send your request via e-mail to: mon.edithstein@servidoras.org.
Thank you for your support!
