5 out of 5 starsFirst incense purchased from the Holy Cross Monastery! It is also blessed before the shipping! Thank you Br. Francis! It is actually a genuine Catholic Holy Incense. It smells really good too! I got the St. Augustine incense because he’s one of my favorite saints. I will for sure purchase more soon.

5 out of 5 starsI have honestly been meaning to leave this review for many, many months now. I am a bit ashamed that it's taken me this long. I bought this beard balm for my husband on a hope and a whim, as I was already ordering him the Saint Augustine's Prayer Book (which he loves and uses pretty much every day) to celebrate Father's Day (with the kids) but on a personal note it was really a gift of celebrating our recent baptism into the church, and that he chose Augustine as his saint. But all that aside. My husband is notoriously picky or "discriminating" about his beard products. He has tried countless balms, waxes, oils, and all for naught. I added this beard balm that day on a hopeful whim- which paid off! Hands down my husband's favorite beard product- he can't live without it. Shipping is wonderful also. My husband says hi :)

Frequently asked questions
Order Processing Time & Cancellations
We strive to ship all orders within 2 business days. However, the rhythm and responsibilities of our monastic life occasionally preclude this, which may lead to delays of a day or more. When this does occur, we make every effort to inform affected customers in a proactive and timely manner. In general, orders received on Sunday and Monday ship on Tuesday.
Order cancellations are accepted prior to shipping. Once an order has shipped, it must be returned in its original condition to qualify for a refund. Please see item details for return and exchange eligibility.
Please know that we consider your patronage a blessing to our monastery, and we hold you in our prayers!
