A lace pattern that is no longer in production fondly called “Canons Lace” was reproduced in house by our St. Martha’s Guild with just under 64,000 stitches for every 11 inches of fabric.
This beautiful lace was used for the final vows of Br. Marko and Br. Joshua.

How do we discover who God is calling us to be?
Our vocation is not something we simply create for ourselves. It is something we discover by drawing closer to Christ, learning to recognize His voice, and asking Him what He has created us to become.
Fr. David Yallaly invites us to look to Christ—and, like St. Peter, discover our own identity and mission through an encounter with Him.
