The cloistered nuns of the Order, by their life of prayer and penance, support the friars in their work for souls. Dominican Monastic life is based on the Word of God as listened to in Scripture, celebrated in the liturgy, and meditated in silent prayer. Regular observances of choral and private prayer, study, vows, common life, silence, work and penance form the structure that supports the life of union with God. All the elements of the life are harmoniously ordered to preserving the continual remembrance of God. As part of the observance of work and to provide the financial income necessary to maintain the monastery, the nuns engage in the distribution of altar breads. Purchasing breads from several different suppliers, they repackage and distribute them to parishes throughout the West.

Besides the large orders for the bigger parishes and cathedrals, the nuns also custom package breads for the smaller needs of retired priests, convents, hospital ministries, campus ministries, etc. Most orders are shipped on a regular monthly basis while some pastors prefer to call when they need a new supply. Extra orders or emergency needs are provided when requested. Orders can be placed at any time 7 days a week by phone, fax, email or snail mail.

Breads are normally packaged as follows:

	1 1/8" white - bags of 500
	1 1/8" whole wheat - bags of 500
	1 3/8" white - bags of 250
	1 3/8" whole wheat - bags of 250 or plastic jars of 750
	1 3/8" whole wheat - double thick - bags of 250
	1 ½" whole wheat - with designs - plastic jars of 500
	1 ½" whole wheat - plain - bags of 500
	1 ½" white - plain - bags of 500
	2 3/4" white - boxes of 50
	2 3/4" whole wheat - boxes of 50
	5 3/4" whole wheat - with break lines for 24 pieces - boxes of 25
	9" whole wheat - with break lines for 68 pieces - boxes of 25
	luna hosts of various sizes by special order

The nuns are very grateful for the support of those who purchase altar breads from them and keep all in their prayers.
