For any woman who shares a common vision of living, working, and enjoying a simple quiet life in harmony with nature and each other, The New Holy Order may be an answer to your prayers. The New Holy Order is modeled on and inspired by spiritual communities of women (convents) representing all ages, cultures, faiths, skills and talents.
My Story
First, I must confess that I am what many call a lapsed Catholic. Although I was baptized in the Catholic faith and attended Catholic schools through high school, I am no longer a practicing Catholic, nor am I a member of any religious order or church.
To make a very long story much shorter…In my late twenties I married and was blessed with three wonderful sons. Regrettably, the marriage ended in divorce after a decade. As time passed, I found myself becoming more spiritual and less religious. I delved into various spiritual and mystical teachings, exploring New Age philosophy, Buddhism and even Wicca.
However, a tragic event reshaped my life’s path: my youngest son’s sudden death at the age of 13 due to a congenital heart condition caused me to seek solace in the familiarity and comfort of my Catholic faith.
The return to my roots began with a visit to Our Lady of the Redwoods, a remote women’s monastery nestled on the Lost Coast of California. There, I encountered a profoundly different and simpler monastic lifestyle from the Catholic traditions I had known. Within the peaceful silence and the natural seclusion of the monastery, I embarked on a healing journey through grief that kindled a newfound interest in monastic life.
Central to the monastic ethos is the belief in “welcoming the stranger” echoing the sentiments of the psalm, “I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you invited me in.” I soon realized that hospitality is at the heart of monastic life.
I also learned that monastic communities following the teachings of St. Benedict, the father of monasticism, support themselves without passing collection plates. Instead, each monastery makes unique quality items for sale. There are literally hundreds of monastery products available at monasteries around the world. Monastery products can include food items such as candy, cookies, jams, jellies, peanut brittle and fudge just to name a few. Other items can include an array of soothing creams, soaps, lotions, healing salves. One monastery in Iowa even handcrafts caskets with lumber from trees in their sustainable forest. Another monastery in Venezuela plants, grows, harvests and roasts their own coffee.The sisters at Our Lady Of the Redwoods make the most delicious creamed honey.
Shortly after that visit, a friend invited me to join her on a trip to Italy to walk The Assisi Trail, newly opened in 2000. We planned to hike with another friend who owned a beautiful home just outside of Gubbio in Umbria, the heart of Italy. Naturally, I brought gifts – a jar of creamed honey from the sisters at Our Lady of the Redwoods, and hand-dipped beeswax candles from a Russian Orthodox monastery near my home. Our hostess loved the gifts and decided to include a side trip to a men’s monastery nestled high in the mountains. This monastery specialized in crafting quality products, ranging from creams, soaps and lotions to cheese and liqueurs used for “medicinal purposes”.
While I had no idea at the time, my interest in the monastic life would soon lead me to the next chapter in my journey as the founder and proprietress of:
Founded in 2004, Holy Orders was a labor of love that grew into a successful online retail business. The logo— a chubby little nun on a tractor was intended to be a wink and a nod to the males-only Catholic sacrament of “Holy Orders”.
As I grew the business, sourcing new products often required visits to monasteries where I became more familiar with and intrigued by their unique and simple monastic life. While I never considered joining a monastery after retiring at 60, I did seriously consider how a modern day ‘convent’ or community of women might model itself on the aspects of the simple life at monasteries that appealed to me, without being tied to any particular faith or religion.
What follows is My Vision for The New Holy Order — a secular community for women in the 21st century.
Although it is doubtful that I will see my vision become a reality in my lifetime as I enter my 70s, it is my hope that this website will serve as a guiding light for future generations of like-minded women, inspiring them to build upon its legacy.
To quote from my favorite movie, Field of Dreams,
“Build it and they will come.”
— The Mysterious Voice
The Vision
“The only thing worse than being blind
is having sight but no vision.”
— Helen Keller
The New Holy Order ‘Convent’ will be a secular community of women modeled on spiritual communities of women (convents) representing all ages, cultures, faiths, skills and talents—women who share a common vision for living, working, and enjoying a simple quiet life in harmony with nature and each other.
Living in a community offers many advantages for social, emotional, practical and even economic benefits that can contribute to a richer and more fulfilling lifestyle for those who reside there.
The New Holy Order ‘Sisters’ will combine old world style and grace with the unique spirit of today’s modern woman—possessing a strong sense of self, while seeking simplicity, peace, balance, joy, friendship and love in their lives. The “Sisters” will support themselves just as other monastic communities do, “by the work of their own hands.”
The Convent will include a gift shop, cafe, tavern (‘The Bar Nun’) offering items crafted on-site. Products made at monasteries from around the world will also contribute to the Convent’s income.
The Convent
Based on visits to monasteries worldwide, the most suitable model for the New Holy Order Convent is one where the ‘Sisters’ will reside in their own cottages (hermitages), while a main convent building will serve practical functions, housing a shared library, music room (dance/yoga studio), laundry, kitchen, community dining room and infirmary. Other structures will include guest cottages, a non-denominational chapel and a large barn. All buildings will be designed using sustainable practices and constructed with sustainable materials.

The Sisters
The ‘Sisters’ of The New Holy Order will be recruited from around the world, representing diverse cultures, spiritual practices, skills and talents.
Like any intentional community, women who wish to make the convent their home are welcome to apply in writing, be interviewed, and accepted on a probationary period to determine if she is a fit for the convent and the convent is a fit for her. ‘Sisters’ are free to leave at anytime.
Women of all ages will be welcome. Senior ‘Sisters’ will be revered for their wisdom and knowledge acquired during their life’s journey and serve as mentors to the younger ‘Sisters’. Younger ‘Sisters’ will be valued for their youthful energy and strength and help senior ‘Sisters’ age safely, live with dignity and grow old gracefully. ‘Sisters’ will be required to contribute their various talents at the convent. Even the very senior ‘Sisters’ will have duties as long as they are able. For example, a senior ‘sister’ could be responsible for watering the flowers in the garden or feeding the convent dogs and cat, even if she requires a younger ‘sister’ to accompany her.
In the new “work from anywhere” culture, ‘Sisters’ may continue working in their chosen profession if they can do so from the Convent.
The ‘Sisters’ will reflect simplicity and beauty in their style of dress, their work and their hermitages. The ‘Sisters’ will constantly strive for a balanced life of work, meditation, study and recreation. The ‘Sisters’ will value peace and solitude above all. They will practice honesty, kindness, compassion and patience with love and respect for all.

Convent Couture
Black and white clothing has been the standard attire for nuns for centuries. These uniforms were called habits. In fact, it is said that Coco Chanel was inspired by nun’s habits to create ‘the little black dress’.
I wore a uniform for twelve years while attending Catholic schools. Since then, I have always preferred a classic uniform over trendy clothing. To this day, I continue wear mostly black and white. It makes for fewer decisions when shopping and makes daily wardrobe choices so much easier. A uniform can level the playing field when women are together by creating a sense of equality and a cohesive identity.
New Holy Order ‘Sisters’ will wear Black, Grey and/or White. However, to express their unique individuality, they will be encouraged to accessorize with color in their choices of shoes, purses, scarves, belts, jewelry, hats.

COUTURE: French for dressmaking.
Convent dressmaking runs in the family.
Sister Teresa O’Connor was my father’s great aunt. She co-founded The Sisters of the Holy Family in San Francisco in 1872. She and Sister Mary Dolores started out caring for young children of poor working mothers in their home.
Many of the mothers in those days were forced to work because of illness, injury or death of their husbands. The Sisters of the Holy Family is considered to be the originators of the first daycare center. The order still operates a ‘Day Home’ serving families in San Francisco.
Because nuns traditionally wore strange looking ‘habits’ that could frighten small children, the sisters were given permission to wear plain women’s clothing – an ‘outdoor habit’ when out in public with the children.
The Rule
Every Holy Order has a written ‘Rule,’ which serves as a guide for communal living, i.e., the Rule of St. Benedict, the founder of Western Monasticism. The New Holy Order Convent will adhere to this tradition, with the ‘Golden Rule’ as Rule #1. However, all other ‘Rules’ will be voted on by the community and will be open to change—never set in stone.
Monastic communities devote much of their time in silence, and we firmly believe that this silence holds the secret to their peaceful existence over the centuries. Anyone who has ever worked in the corporate world knows that excessive time spent talking – whether on the phone, in hallways, or during seemingly endless meetings —is generally a significant waste of time . Few outsiders realize the level of productivity within monasteries. Monastics efficiently accomplish more tasks and execute them more effectively in less time due to their intense focus on silence. Idle chit-chat and gossip can be the ruin of any community, especially a women’s community.
‘NEW RULES’
The Rule’ by which all ‘Sisters’ will live by will be voted upon and adopted by the community. Until ‘The New Rules’ are ratified, the following general rules and guidelines will apply:
The ‘Golden Rule’ will always be Rule #1
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”
All sisters will be expected to live a simple and peaceful life of grace and style. They will continually strive to be kind, compassionate, patient, honest, generous and respectful of one another and all guests. They should also have a strong sense of humor!
Women who wish to make the ‘Convent’ their permanent home must apply in writing, be interviewed and pass the probationary period before being accepted. They will also be free to leave at anytime.
All sisters will reside in their own private hermitage.
Younger sisters will assist, and care for senior sisters.
Senior sisters will share their wisdom and rich life experiences with younger sisters.
Wine, spirits, gummies and profanity will be permitted (in moderation of course).
There will be designated periods of silence, work, socializing, recreation, exercise and meditation.
Celibacy will not be mandatory. Gentlemen may visit but they may not reside on a permanent basis. Men will also be hired as needed as day laborers.
Anyone under the age of 21 will not be permitted to reside permanently at the Convent. However, they may visit for brief periods of time with permission from the ‘Sisters’ to celebrate special occasions and ‘Feast Days’ (holidays) and birthdays. Adult children of any of the ‘Sisters’ as well as their families may also be invited to stay as guests in the guesthouse depending on availability.
All guests will be encouraged to follow the ‘convent’s daily rhythm’ and to join the ‘Sisters’ in periods of silence and manual labor during their stay.
Donations will be expected from all guests to cover the costs associated with their lodging and meals.
Laughter will be encouraged at all times!
The Land & Landscape
Ideally, the ‘convent’ will be situated in a rural, bucolic valley surrounded by trees, meadows and mountains, with a lake, river or pond nearby. The grounds will include herb and vegetable gardens, a labyrinth, a large outdoor fireplace and cooking area, picnic tables and benches, chairs and hammocks, sacred shrines representing all faiths, and a green cemetery if permitted. Depending on typography and climate, vineyards, olive groves and orchards will be planted. And, of course, there will be at least one big red tractor!

While I have no particular piece of land in mind for The New Holy Order, it would be wonderful if an existing monastery became available. In fact, in recent years a number of monasteries have been sold for various reasons, including financial challenges faced by religious institutions, declining membership within religious orders, maintenance costs exceeding available funds, or a shift in priorities of the religious community. Knowing this, I can’t help but hope that when the time is right a monastery that fits the vision of The New Holy Order will appear!
Recreation
Recreation (noun):
Refreshment of spirits and strength.
Etymology:
From Latin: spiritual refreshment, amusement, new birth, to make new, restore, revive.
Recreation is an essential component of a fulfilling life, contributing significantly to physical health, mental well-being, social connections and personal growth. Recreation is basically the grownup word for play. And playtime is always a fun time!
For centuries monasteries have maintained a daily schedule that includes time devoted to meditation or prayer, study (reading and writing), work (cooking, cleaning, gardening or any chores that need tending).
However, days should never be all work and no play. The New Holy Order Convent will be no exception.
With that being said, listed below are activities that would be fun to have at the New Holy Order Convent.
Swimming ~ Water Aerobics
Softball
Bocce Ball
Horse and/or Donkey Riding
Bicycle riding
Hiking
Basketball
Volleyball
Putting Green ~ Croquet
Tennis ~ Pickle Ball
Ping Pong ~ Pool
Archery
Sailing ~ Tubing ~ Canoeing
Tractor Races and/or Donkey Races
Dance Nights
Skits ~ Recitals
Guest Speakers
Movie Nights
Field Trips
There will be ‘Play Days’ to celebrate special occasions such as birthdays and could include:
relay races, egg toss, sack race, corn hole competition, tug of war, musical chairs
Simple Little Luxuries
The following items will serve as welcome gifts to ‘Sisters’ on move-in day to their private hermitage:
A set of fluffy white towels and wash cloths
A white terry robe
A set of white linen, cotton or bamboo sheets and a lightweight quilt
for spring/summer
A set of white flannel sheets and a down comforter
For fall/winter
A Cozy throw
When a ‘Sister’ passes her probationary period and chooses to live permanently at the ‘Convent’ she will receive:
A pen & pencil set and writing journal
A pearl necklace
An engraved silver napkin ring
A long white robe to be worn at the non-denominational chapel
for events and rituals
A New Holy Order Ring
Pax et Amor
Please trust me when I say that ‘Sisters’ will not be required to learn or speak Latin!
However, I was required to study Latin in high school and my fondness for the simplicity of the Latin language has stuck with me. It was also a fun way to have a secret language among friends. And so, I have included a few of my favorite Latin phases simply for your enjoyment!
First, to give you a little background, Latin was the language of the ancient Roman Empire. During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, Latin served as the common language for people who came from different regions and spoke different native languages, allowing for the exchange of ideas. It played a significant role in influencing various fields such as law, government, philosophy and science. And to this day, Latin is still studied and serves as a foundation for understanding the origins of Western culture, languages and thought.
• Non omnia possumus omnes. — “All of us cannot do everything.”
• Si vis amaria, ama — “If you want to be loved, love.”
• Repetitio est mater studiorum. — “Repetition is the mother of study.”
• Usus magister est optimus. — “Practice makes perfect.”
• Ventis secundis, tene cursum. — “Go with the flow.”
• Ulula cum lupis, cum quibus esse cupis. — “Who keeps company with wolves, will learn to howl.”
• Ubi mel ibi apes: “Where honey, there bees.”
• Sui Generis: “Of its own kind” in a class of its own.
• Dulce et Utile: “Sweet and useful.”
• In manus tuas commendo spiritum meum: “In your hands I commend my spirit.”
• Ius primae noctis: “By united efforts.”
• Odi et amo: “I hate (her), and I love. (her)”
• Pax tecum: “Peace be with you.” (singular)
• Pax vobiscum: “Peace be with you.” (plural).
• Quid pro quo: “A thing for a thing” — i.e. a favor for a favor.
• Sub rosa: “Under the rose” — secretly (a rose was placed above a door to indicate that what was said in the room beyond was not to be repeated outside).
• Tabula gratulatoria: “List of congratulations.”
• Vivat, crescat, floreat!: “May he/she/it live, grow, and flourish!”
• Ad finem fidelis: Faithful to the end.
• Ad finem amor: love to the end.
• Sancta Simplicitas: “Blessed Simplicity” or “Holy Simplicity”
• Dona Nobis Pacem: Give us Peace.
• Pax et Amor: Peace and Love
If I were to use one Latin phrase to describe my vision for The New Holy Order it would be:
Angulus terrarium: “Quiet corner of the world; place of repose.”
Quotes to Inspire
These quotes have inspired me along my life’s journey and helped me to believe in my dream of a New Holy Order.
It is my hope that they will also inspire you on your journey.

“We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.” Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
“We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love… and then we return home.” Aboriginal Proverb

If you are vibrating in the frequency of love, joy and abundance, you are going to attract things that support that frequency. It’s kinda like tuning into a radio station. You have to be turning into the music you want to listen to — just like you have to be tuned into the energy you want to manifest into your life. Change your mindset; it will change your life.” Native Red Cloud

Saint Francis of Assisi
I have had a fondness for St. Francis and felt a connection to him ever since I walked the Assisi Trail in 2000. He is celebrated every year on October 4th which is also the day that animals receive blessings at many churches the world over. It is also the day coincidentally that Holy Orders — The Answer to a Shopper’s Prayers launched in 2004.
Saint Francis was born in Italy in the late 12th century and is one of Christianity’s most beloved saints. He gave up a life of wealth as the son of a successful merchant to live a more simple life in service to others.
He founded the Franciscan Order and is known for his profound love for nature and animals, and his belief in the interconnectedness of all living beings.
He is remembered for his famous prayer that I am happy to share with you.
The Prayer of St. Francis.
The Prayer of St. Francis.Make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console.
To be understood, as to understand.
To be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in forgiving that we are forgiven.
The Tree of Life Blessing
In closing, I would like to leave you with this blessing. Did you know that there is a word for blessing in every language? A blessing can be bestowed upon a person or place for their well-being and happiness.
And so…
May you choose outrageous actions that challenge who you are
And encourage who you are becoming.
May you take the steps, however small towards that which
You have always longed for. Now is the right time.
May you recognize the powerful and unique contribution that
You bring to the people whose lives you touch.
May you be as wonderful as you really are
And do things because you want to, not just because you should.
May you celebrate your creativity and believe that you are
An artist with unique vision that no one else has.
May you find peace and purpose and possibility amidst the
Chaos while remaining aware of the unrest in the world.
May you reach towards the spirit with a longing that
Keeps you awake to the miracles available to you — available all around you.
May your faith move any mountains that stand in your way
And bring you great teachers to awaken your understanding.
May you give up shame and guilt, self-neglect and
Replace them with other qualities such as freedom integrity and self-nurturing.
May you offer the gifts and blessings of your soul to beings of the world
When the time is right for you to release them.
May you be loved passionately and wildly by someone
Who can see who you really are.
May you remember to be quiet
And to return to the safety and wonder of your own soul garden.
May your body speak to you and teach you how
To care for the temple that houses your bright spirit.
May you walk gently on Mother Earth
And honor her with your actions and your rest.
May you be embraced by the tree of life
And may you be open to receive the wisdom and power she brings to those on her path.
May love be the center of all your choices
And may you, and I send this blessing to all beings.
AND SO IT SHALL BE…
Map
A map is an essential tool when embarking on an adventure into uncharted territories. With that said, this ‘vision map’ serves as a visual roadmap to the endless possibilities that lie ahead.
Making this simple little map has helped me to bring my vision into focus. I hope it will help you see yourself in one of the little hermitages by the lake or on the river, enjoying the peaceful solitude and joyful activities at The New Holy Order Convent.
Labyrinth
This labyrinth was part of the original Holy Orders website. Back then, Gregorian chant played while ‘Sister’ rode her little red tractor to work each day.
Today, I welcome you to sit in silence and focus inward as you watch ‘Sister’ maneuver her way around the labyrinth, or choose your own music to play as you contemplate the possibilities of your future journey.
Sometimes Sister needs a little click to get her going. If she still doesn’t move go back to the main menu and click on LABYRINTH and that should get her moving.
