It was suggested to us that we create an Amazon Smile account and “wish lists” for people to help us meet our needs. We have finally done so!!!!
We have created 2 lists of things we are in need of. One list is a general/household list for the community. The other is a formation list. Due to recent regulation changes from the Vatican, all contemplative orders have to review and amp up their formation for both “newbies” and “oldies”. As we are coming to an end of completing that in collaboration with our other PCPA houses in the USA, the formation list is the list of items that we would like to include in our formation schedule and still are in need of. We are in great need of the books that are out of print but are being sold through Amazon.
If you would like to purchase any of the items on our list but not through Amazon, we would accept that too!
These lists are updated regularly. Links to the lists are here:
However, there are some items that can’t be found on Amazon. We have listed those below with approximately how much they are and how many we need. If you would prefer to donate towards the purchasing of these or anything on our Amazon lists instead of purchasing them yourself, you are welcome to donate through our website or via the mail and in the comments section please note that you would like the money to be used towards the purchase of the item of your choosing. We will and do set aside the money until we are able to do so and only use it as directed.
The below list is also updated regularly and should reflect our current ‘wants/needs’ not available on Amazon.
BOOKS and RELATED THINGS
Nothing at the moment :-) Thank you!
OTHER ITEMS
Any unused canning jar SEALS—wide or regular sizes—and JARS—quarts, pints, or half pints
Fresh fruits and vegetables and meat (especially beef) for our consumption
6-10 of these wooden spoons to replace our current ones we use from Bread and Soup that have lasted us 15 years but are now splintering and we don’t want that in the soups. These are the closest I could find as the original ones came from a Monastery friend when she went home to visit family in Guatemala…but if you go there we would welcome these :)
A John Deere Gator and/or golf cart but the Gator is preferred—this is for our workmen who roam our grounds with heavy tools and such. Used or new is fine or even if you know of someone who is looking to get rid of one even for a reduced price if you could please let our office know.
Gift cards to Amazon, Lowe’s, Sam’s, BJ’s, Restaurant Depot, Tractor Supply, Home Depot, Marc’s, Giant Eagle, and Walmart of any amount
