WORDS OF PRAISE
FROM OUR FAITHFUL FLOCK OF SHOPPERS

The package arrived on my mom’s birthday and she just loved all her gifts! I think you have a new convert and I'm sure she'll be passing along the good news of Holy Orders to her close friends.  Thanks again for suggesting such great gifts.  They were perfect.  Tim

Something seems to change when packages from Holy Orders arrive!  Those "Little Blessings," sent with loving thoughts are powerful.  Thank you for Holy Orders!  Susan

This is a “blessing” of a new gift-giving idea—perfect to have on hand for those last minute gifts.  Kathy

My wife loves the Italian body cream for its heavenly scents!  I was a hero and I owe it all to you!  Many thanks, Matt

I am an Ursuline Sister and I often search for small gifts for those I love. Holy Orders is the perfect place to find just the right thing.  Sister Shirley

My Christmas shopping will be much easier and a lot more meaningful this year!  CiCi

Blessings on you and your wonderful workers. I love all your products and I especially love your message.  Jan

Thank you for helping us make our giving to friends and family so thoughtful!  Maria

Thank you for great products and great service.  In this crazy world of ours I hope efforts like yours can help us achieve our similar goals of peace, calm and joy among people and nations on this great green earth.  Barbara

I am grateful for the Small Blessings in life, such as the arrival this morning of my order from Holy Orders. I am writing to let you know that your shipment arrived in excellent condition, and I am moved by the simple beauty of the item that I ordered. Your packaging indicates a sensitivity to touching the heart and souls of your retail followers. I know my family and friends, as the recipients of these very special items, will feel blessed, too.  Monica

Without a doubt, you people are the best I've ever dealt with in any business transaction. Thank you for your courtesy and care. The gift I purchased is for a friend who has suddenly lost his mother to a stroke, and this will, I hope, help him through the grieving process. Rick

I received several beautiful items that my mom purchased from you for Christmas.  I was just thrilled with all of them.  I can think of a zillion people who would love a prayer bracelet.  I just love mine, and the story of how they are made. Have a blessed year... and thank you for your wonderful products!  Ann

My aunt gave me “The Mother Superior” gift box for Christmas and it is just beautiful!  All the products are wonderful and I am so happy to have been introduced to your company.  Please keep me posted on any new products.  I have many relatives and friends who will just love Holy Orders and I’m sure they will sing your praises for the wonderful work you do and the products you offer.   Karyn

I wanted to let you know that my Holy Order came today.  The presentation is gorgeous!  I’m very glad I found your site and I’ll be back again the future.  Ellie

My auntie absolutely loved her “Mother Superior” gift box.  Thank you for having such a charming website where I can find unique gifts for those I love!  Janice

Sisters:  Just wanted to let you know I received my Holy Order.  My friend was very surprised and grateful for the unique gifts I gave her and commented on how beautifully they were presented.  The fudge you suggested IS WONDERFUL.  I will refer anyone who is looking for an interesting gift from a heavenly source to your catalogue of goods.  Once again - I love that the products are made with care by monks and nuns around the country and world - I think that makes everything extra special.  Cara

I just had to write and tell you how very much I love all the products from Holy Orders, especially the Italian Hand Cream.  It is the first product I have tried that actually has healed my chapped hands.  The ultimate compliment came from my husband when I grabbed his hand as we were crossing the street and he said, “Your hands are so soft!”  Lorna

We received the Saint’s in Art book yesterday. It is quite simply beautiful and I will treasure it always.  More people should be exposed to what you have to offer.  The world would be a better place.  E.S.

Your products are wonderful.  I absolutely love the Italian Hand Cream.  It’s like dipping my hands in whipped cream.  As for the Italian Pure and Simple soap, I am a convert for life!  The mustard is just as you described—very tasty with a bite!  I love the heat and it will be perfect to serve with the sausage I am making tonight.  My only regret is that I wish I had ordered the honey and preserves.  L.L.

What an excellent idea for a business.  In a time of such materialism, this is the perfect answer to gift-giving.  Richard

I love everything on your website!  I am the Director of Religious Education at a Catholic Church and I am looking forward to giving the Monastery Beeswax Candles to each of our program volunteers to thank them for being “Lights of Christ” to the children in our community.  Carolyn

I love Holy Orders because I can send little gifts that mean so much.  Bless you.  Susan

My order arrived today and it is just beautiful.  The presentation, the “little story card” about the “Bless You” hankie are so very special.  I am so glad I found your website.  Becky

The Lavender Herbal Salve is the best, and I’ve tried them all in my sixty plus years.  Patty

I am delighted with the originality of your gifts and I know my host and hostess will be delighted and surprised with their gifts. Raymond

We so enjoy your products, the idea behind them and especially the quality.  My wife loves the Earth Healer Compost Tea.  She says her plants have never looked so healthy and happy!  Max

We stopped to visit a friend in the hospital and gave her a bar of your scented soap which she sniffed and said, "What a wonderful relief from the hospital smells!" Peace, Carol & Chuck

I enjoy your products because the quality is so outstanding. Thank you. Mike

My parents LOVED The Classic Gift Box.  They just love, love, love the nun on the tractor!  Patty

I just received my wonderful box full of goodies from you and am so impressed. These items were exactly what I was looking for to finish up my Christmas shopping for my family. I love being able to give gifts that have meaning. I will be back for more. Thank you for making these beautiful items available to us.  Keep up the good work. Gloria

I have placed another order because every time I do my friends always call and are so pleased with your gifts.  Shannon

I love the quality of the items and the attention to detail - packaging etc.  Marie

Just thought I'd share how much I love the Trappist Blueberry jam from Holy Orders.  It's my favorite treat - saved for toasted English Muffins on weekends.  However, last Sunday I added them to warm cheese blintzes for brunch with friends and they were fabulous! Also, my Mom told me that she used the mustard I gave her and dad for Christmas at their annual St. Patrick's Day corned beef dinner party and it was a huge hit.  Chris

PRAISE FOR HOLY ORDERS CUSTOMER SERVICE

Dear Sisters, Thank you for such superior service!  Cindy

Dear “Sisters,” You all are amazing!  Thank you for going the extra mile to make sure my dad got his gift in time for Father’s Day.  You will definitely be hearing from me again, along with referrals!  Lauren

I just placed a phone order and I must say that you do take your guarantee of “complete satisfaction” very seriously. I’m sorry I didn’t get the name of the “sister” who took my order but she did a great job and was able to answer all my questions.  She also took the time to call me back with some additional information regarding my order.  I had “complete satisfaction” with your service and I have no doubt that I will be completely satisfied when my Holy Order arrives.  Joe

Thank you for such great customer service.  You were definitely the answer to my anniversary shopping prayers!  Scott

You holy folks are great!  As you promised, Ann’s gift arrived on her birthday and she loved it!  Georgia

I always appreciate your gracious and responsive service.....and fine products. Jim

Your customer service is fantastic. Peter

ACCOLADES FOR THE HOLY ORDERS WEBSITE

Your website is so easy to maneuver.  Getting back to “more shopping” is much, MUCH easier than most.  FYI:  I am not a Catholic or a Christian but I am very much a fan of unique “mail-order sites” that have a vocational, spiritual, human aspect.  I will be ordering again.  BLB

A lovely site -- delightful, gentle humor -- wonderfully described and presented products -- and, best of all, throughout the entire site, the openness and sincerity of Spirit that is the reason for the season -- and all year long.  Jessan

I wanted to tell you how inspired I was by your website and its clear focus.  Carla

I just have to say that this is one of the very best websites I have found!   Thank you so much and blessings to you.  Vikki

The nun riding the tractor is absolutely adorable – nice website and a great cause.  Mary
I absolutely love the holy orders site.  I have already recommended their products to all my friends. I love the packaging, love the concepts, and love the whole feel of it!  Laurie

What a wonderful website & terrific idea!  ~  Heard your interview with KGO this morning & thoroughly enjoyed it.  I "followed along" on your website as you told about the great products as well as telling your story---Sister, her tractor & the labyrinth plus the Gregorian chant: Wonderful! June

I really enjoyed shopping the site and look forward to giving my sweetie her birthday gift.  Ron

I heard about you this morning on KGO radio while driving to Church…what a treat…I am preparing my shopping list and telling all I know to visit you and the Sister.  Richard

The site is fabulous!!!!  It is such a peaceful feeling to stop and take a moment and read how all these products came into existence.  Joanne

THANK YOU NOTES
These thank-you notes were shared with us by happy shoppers
who received them from happy recipients.

Thank you...thank you....you have done it again.  Just loved my Classic Gift Box and all the bits and pieces....will call you tomorrow for I had a great chuckle over it all and as I said, hit the nail on the head...where you come up with these clever ideas is a wonder.   Love and a hug...  Nana

Thank you so much for the gift box from Holy Orders.  What a wonderful gift!  Where did you ever come across this company?  The items are amazing.  Thanks for being so thoughtful.  Shelby

What an amazing surprise was waiting in the simple black box tied with heavy white cord!  I am writing on one of Sister Victoria’s pen & ink note cards  and have already enjoyed the herbal salve.  I plan to try the compost tea on my special hibiscus.  It was damaged in the freeze and could really use a miracle.  I am enclosing one of the “little blessings” that came with my gifts for you.  I think it makes a lovely little bookmark.  Dorothy

I hope you thought of me last night, since I thought of you.  I was looking for something sweet before bedtime and found those wonderful caramels that you sent. I had hidden them—I mean I love the grandchildren dearly, but some things I just will not share, and those caramels are it!  I love them, and I’m not even sure if I ever thanked you for them.  I don’t chew them; I just let them melt in my mouth and they are divinely delicious!  So I was silently thanking you while enjoying my bedtime sweet.  Eileen

Many thanks for the precious nativity set from Holy Orders. What a complete surprise and so very thoughtful of you.  It has a special place in our home this Christmas.  The printed scroll, and "little blessings" couldn't be more endearing.  Alice

I wanted to take a moment to let you know that I go to your website every morning to hear the monks and nuns chant and to watch “sister” travel the labyrinth on her way to work at Holy Orders.  Karen
