The Cloister Gift Shop

Mission Statement: 

The Cloister Gift Shop is an outreach ministry of the Sisters of St. Benedict of St. Paul’s Monastery.  It provides an opportunity to enrich the personal and spiritual lives of monastery guests by providing quality artifacts, a variety of reading materials, reflective music, greeting cards and beautiful gifts.  It serves as an outlet of handcrafted items by the Sisters, provides revenue for them and gives the sales associates the opportunity to live out the maxim of St. Benedict, “All guests are to be welcomed as Christ!”

 

       

Illuminating the Word

 

Illuminating the Word,  The St. John’s Bible from St. John’s Abbey in Collegeville highlights our shelves at the Cloister Gift Shop.  The individual books now published, in the calligraphy reprints, are a wonderful gift for a special person in your life.  Those books include:  Gospel & Acts, Psalms, Prophets, Pentateuch and Wisdom.

In addition, the Gift Shop carries portfolios of 10 cards of some of the lovely artwork included in those books. 

These books and cards are a unique contribution to the Church today, as handwritten or hand calligraphy of the Bible has not been done for centuries.  This is a gift that can be handed down for generations.

Be sure to ask about the Illuminating the Word, St. John’s Bible books when you visit the Cloister Gift Shop.
