When you live in the United States and choose to do business with an American-owned company, you can benefit in several ways:

  • Cultural Alignment: An American-owned company is likely to understand the local culture, consumer preferences, and business practices. This alignment can lead to smoother interactions and better customer service.
  • Faster Communication: Dealing with a company based in the same country means faster communication. Time zones, language barriers, and other logistical challenges are minimized.
  • Legal Protections: U.S. laws and regulations protect consumers and businesses alike. When you work with an American company, you have legal recourse if any issues arise.
  • Quality Standards: American companies often adhere to high-quality standards. Whether it’s products or services, you can expect reliability and consistency.
  • Patriotism and Community Support: Many people feel a sense of pride in supporting local businesses. It fosters a sense of community and contributes to the overall well-being of the nation.

Giving Back to Support Formation of Priests

  • Ordination Fund Pledge

    Purchase Ordination Chalice

  • We Donate Portion of Proceeds

    Use for home diocese in the Seminary Education Fund/Seminary Burse

Ordination Fund Pledge - How it Works!
When a seminarian purchases their ordination chalice from Southern Liturgicals, we will donate a portion of the proceeds, in his name, back to his home diocese for use in the Seminary Education Fund/Seminary Burse. We want to give back to lend our support to current and future seminarians by minimizing the expenses of educating our priests. We support our clergy!   
St. John Vianney once said, "A priest goes to heaven or a priest goes to hell with a thousand people behind them." I feel the financial support given to the formation, education, and training of our future priests will live out and be multiplied in the lives of thousands of souls that they will minister to in their priesthood over their lifetime. Without priests, we would not have the Eucharist! 
Restrictions do apply. Currently, this only applies to Seminarians whose home diocese or seminary is within the United States as International wiring of funds makes it cost-prohibitive.

Chalice ASL 015 Pros: Absolutely stunning in craftsmanship and spiritual symbolism, the chalice and paten I recently acquired are truly one-of-a-kind sacred vessels. The artistry and elegance of each piece speak volumes, they are not only visually breathtaking but also profoundly reverent, capturing the very heart of the Eucharistic celebration. As I lift the chalice, I am moved by the way it elevates Christ in memory of His Passion, embodying both sacrifice and glory in precious metal and form. The paten, too, mirrors that sacred dignity, cradling the Bread of Life with a beauty that draws the soul into worship. What made this experience even more meaningful was the exceptional customer service marked by attentiveness, kindness, and genuine care. From the initial consultation to the thoughtful follow-up, every detail was handled with grace and professionalism. These sacred vessels are more than liturgical items, they are devotional masterpieces that inspire awe, honor the mystery of the Mass. Cons: none

5 STARS! Holy Family Baroque Ciborium - Style 193GCIB Pros: Beautiful and elegant piece! Nice weight so you know it's substantial... looks even nicer than the pictures... and you can tell the quality by the underside bottom, which is not hallow but plated and bolted. Superb! Cons: None

Rick was very helpful in the special design of this chalice for our school. The chalice is a stunning work of art that exceeded every expectation. From the red enamel cross on the base, to the engraving on the underside of the base to the chalice itself--absolutely breathtaking (and that's literal). This chalice will had a beauty and solemnity to our masses that will serve our community well for many years to come. Thank you, Rick!

Great selection! Was able to find just the right chalice for my price-range. Southern Liturgicals communicated with me quickly and comprehensively throughout the whole process: from narrowing it down for the selection process to the delivery; and then followed up to know if I was satisfied with my purchase. Class act! I will shop there again.

Richard was a joy to work with and everything went smoothly. Aside from the shopping costs to Hawaii (which can't be helped by both parties), what we ordered was exactly what we expected to receive. Highly recommend and will return for future purchases!
