As the community grew, improved methods were found to meet an increasing demand. As monastics producing articles for use in Orthodox worship, it was natural that we should be concerned that these be made to high standards with care and devotion. At the same time, working without the salaries and expenses incurred by private enterprise, we have been able to offer these at prices far below what others would have required.

Following the tradition and example of our monastic fathers, our community is supported by the work of our hands and not by the solicitation of funds. Hence, those who wish to contribute to our work can best do so by purchasing the items that we make. In doing so, they not only benefit the monastery, but using these articles in Orthodox worship, they enrich their own spiritual life and witness to the beauty and sanctity of our true faith.
