"Glory and Praise Vestments understands that liturgy is the most important work of the People of God. As such, this house is committed to providing vestments of high quality at reasonable prices. Since the source and summit of the spiritual life is the Eucharist, it makes sense to celebrate it with reverence and beauty. In my experience, Glory and Praise Vestments does everything well. This house is also ready to make vestments and liturgical cloths to suit the desires and needs of various priests and parishes. I highly recommend Glory and Praise Vestments."

Rev. Wilfred Raymond, CSC
National Director of Family Theater Productions

"The habit arrived today - it fits great! Thank you... The hood is perfect...this is the best habit I have had in 30 years as a Franciscan!"

"Glory and Praise Vestments understands that liturgy is the most important work of the People of God. We are blessed to have someone who understands liturgy as well as Glory and Praise Vestments. We have ordered and received three complete sets of traveling vestments for our Bishop Campbell and his assisting ministers. Glory and Praise Vestments has been very flexible and understanding of our many requests and has been quick to respond to making changes to designs. We have received many favorable comments from our ministers. The vestments look good and are very durable and comfortable. I would highly recommend Glory and Praise Vestments to my fellow deacons and all those I come in contact."

Deacon Martin Davies
Director, Office of Liturgy
Diocese of Columbus, Ohio

"...The families of the passed deacons will love them! Thank you so much for blessing me and my parish..." Comment following restoration of vestments.

Deacon Alfred Coleman, II

"We are very pleased to give an enthusiastic and whole-hearted recommendation to Glory and Praise Vestments. We have worked with Theresa for quite some time and have consistently found both the process of working with her, and the product received from her to be of outstanding quality and durability. The garments she creates are of the finest fabrics and her attention to detail is unsurpassed. Finding such superior craftsmanship accompanied by such exceptional value is rare, and we consider ourselves blessed to have found Glory and Praise Vestments. You can be certain that your vestments and habits will be tailored with the utmost care and expertise. We believe that you will be as pleased and amazed as we are."

Sr. Brigid O’Mahony, MHJ

"I have received many compliments and queries about my alb. One of the mass coordinators here at Seton Parish in Pickerington, Ohio ordered and received an alb just like mine and it fits him perfectly. We both wear them with pride. The material is of high quality and put together with love. I will recommend your web site to my fellow deacons and deacon students."

Deacon Hector Raymond
Seton Parish ~ Pickerington, OH

"Our Pro-Cathedral Parish has received two of Mrs. Perkins' chasubles (as a donation from one of our members) and we have examined them at great length. We have seen much liturgical work and fancy ourselves as journeymen in the trade. We have many other garments of high quality - and find her garments are of equal if not better workmanship, taste and style. And such value. Mrs. Perkins is an artist of cloth and design, and a woman of devotion. As we blessed her work it seemed clear that much prayer had indeed preceded our benediction. Her designs actually have made us aware that it is possible to wear a post counsel chasuble that is equally beautiful as works of the past."

The Most Rev. Stephen D. Sinclair, OSB, DD

"I received my alb yesterday and I am very pleased... It is comfortable and very well made... I truly appreciate the perfect timing and your awesome customer service..."

Fr. Phillip Lavery
Finleyville, PA

"...a new and satisfied customer of Glory and Praise Vestments. Not only were we thrilled with the quality of the work, and her helpful suggestions, but her price and her delivery time were both a fraction of what the large catalogue companies offer. We got exactly what we wanted. ...capable to take you from the idea stage to a product that we found simply took our breath away."

Pastor Don Colageo
Bangor, ME

 

"The Franciscan habit I received is exactly what I ordered. It is well made, of high quality, and reasonably priced. It is clear to me that Glory and Praise Vestments is a ministry more than a company. Each vestment is not so much produced as it is prayed into existence."

Brother Rex Anthony Norris, SSF
Orono, ME

 

"I received my alb and it fits and looks wonderfull!!! Your talents are truly a gift and I will share your name with others!!"

Bob Caranicas
Wahpeton, ND

 

"...to let you know how beautiful the deacon stole is. I have spread the word of your fine workmanship to other deacons and to my pastor."

Deacon Len Farmer
Cornwall on Hudson, NY

"After searching for someone to make our habits, I came across Glory and Praise Vestments. After three times returning to the web site, I decided to call Theresa...what a true blessing. As a new community, we did not know who to turn to...through much prayer, we are so happy that we found Glory and Praise Vestments...our habits are just perfect. We have received many compliments on them."
