Dear Paul,

I received the habit you made today. It fits well and is exactly the color and fabric weight I had hoped.

Thank you for your good work!

Blessings in the New Year!

Dear Bro. Paul,

Thank you for all your help and promptness in getting our habits made. They are beautiful!

I have enclosed some sample material and some embroidery thread in the green that we need.

Your help in finding the material is greatly appreciated.

May the holy Angels guide you.

Dear brother Paul,

Greetings in the Lord!

Yesterday arrived the habit! I want to thank you for your beautiful work. May God always bless your hands! God Willing, I hope to give you more orders in the future. Maybe I will ask you to make me a Maronite Vestment. If I do, I will send you a full vestment (6 parts) so that you can see how it looks.

I am a priest 22 ½ years and in our Eparchy 14 years. It seems only yesterday when you visited me in Leander when I was a Brother in the Austin Diocese.

Let us pray one for the other. God Willing, maybe we will get to see one another in the world again.

Your brother in Jesus and Mary,

Father Bernard

Dear Paul,

The monks robes have arrived and could not be more perfect! Had you known Canon Church all your life, you couldn’t have done a better job! You’ll be receiving more orders from us, count on it.

We enclose $5 for your color catalog and can’t wait to show everyone your marvelous talent.

Blessings to you – and once again, thank you!

Dear Paul,

I received my Carmelite habit this past weekend. It fits perfectly and looks very authentic. Thank you so very much! I’m sure the cape will be fine too. I’m so glad I saw your ad in The Wanderer, so I could order my habit from you.

Happy Easter,

Vicki
