What does quality hand-made vestments
mean to you?
It means you are guaranteed your vestment will be made
especially for you. Each one will reflect the individual priest and/or
parish. All vestments are custom made, not off-the-rack, one-size
fits all. However, I do have a number of different styles of chasubles,
stoles, dalmatics,
albs and religious
habits from which to choose. Hand-made typically means
better construction and longer lasting. I have over 30 years of experience
as a seamstress and use only quality fabrics. Your satisfaction is guaranteed!
Whether you prefer simple chasubles and stoles, chasubles with galloons,
overlay stoles with symbols, embroidery, tassels - Glory and Praise
Vestments can accommodate your style.

Praise Vestments came to be.

- Customized embroidered memorial labels available upon
request. (A gift from...; In Memory of...)
- Also upon request fabrics used to make your alb or
habit can be pre-shrunk, allowing your them to be completely machine-washable
and dryer-safe.
- Custom designed vestments made to adapt to your style
and/or parish.
- For example, this house designed an alb for a priest
who wanted a new one made just like one of his old favorites, but with
a little more breathing room.
- Also, a Pastor from a local Parish asked me to design
two 7-1/2" long wall hangings, pulpit banners, and altar cloths
in the traditional Catholic liturgical colors. I additionally designed
two wall hangings (one plain and one a Baptismal
Wall Hanging with a cross, dove and baptismal shell) out of dupioni
silk for the same Parish.
- A local Deacon wanted a custom designed stole for Funeral
Masses. He knew he wanted it in white and with the Alpha and Omega designs
embroidered in purple and gold. The finished
stole also has hand-made rayon tassels, is outlined with a purple
satin to make it stand out from the white of the alb, and an additional
Deacon Cross embroidered on the chest area of the stole. closeup

- A Seminarian on the East Coast was in search of a special
Marian Vestment. He e-mailed me his design and in less than a month
had a complete set of vestments. Marian

- Many priests have told me that they have worn out vestments
that they keep wearing because that particular style is no longer available.
That is where custom-designed services can help.
Why are the prices so reasonable?
Glory and Praise Vestments' prices are reasonable because
this house does not have the overhead that most other companies do.
I work from home as a staff of one and truly believe that it is not
high prices that ensure high quality, but craftsmanship and care. Each
vestment is made as a labor of love with a deep awareness that these
liturgical articles will be used to enhance the celebration of the Liturgy.
