Almost all of our basic daily needs are met by members of our community. We farm: cultivating, planting and harvesting both our food crops and all necessary staple crops in our gardens. All by hand but most rewarding, because the work is carried out as a community.

Our dairy cattle, poultry and pig raising are devotedly carried on daily by our Sisters. Candle making, host baking, sewing, mass vestments and many other crafts provide additional support.
