Our Wish List

Sometimes our friends ask if there is anything in particular our monastery might need or find useful at this time.
We welcome the gifts of all our benefactors, big and small!
If you are looking for specific ideas for material items, however, the below are a few possibilities that are always helpful.
If you have any questions, please feel free contact us and we’d be happy to respond.
God bless, and thank-you for your generosity.

yarn & fibre arts

Many sisters in our community enjoy crafting, weaving, knitting, crochet and other fibre arts, both for the monastic community and as a source of income.
From knitting sweaters for new novices, to weaving beautiful blankets to sell in our gift shop, our hands are busy and our hearts are warm!
We are grateful for all donations of yarn, large and small, as well as “how-to” books, cross-stitch supplies, and other pieces of equipment.

Kitchen

Our food is usually quite simple and changes a bit throughout the year depending on what we are harvesting in the garden.
If you would like to make a donation of food, but are not sure what we need, here are a few items that our kitchen goes through quickly all year round.
Thank-you very much for your support!

Candle room

We make our own candles from donations of used candles and wax by individuals and local parishes.
After melting and purifying the wax, we hand-pour a variety of altar candles for our own use, as well as a candles to sell in our gift shop.
New donations are always welcome, and we are happy to receive both plain and coloured wax.
