The Inspiration Behind Fiat Fabrics
Fiat Fabrics is a solitary endeavor I have undertaken as a hermitess of the Roman Catholic Church located in Georgia, U.S.A., but for all of my brothers and sisters in Christ—a calling to spread the Catholic Faith through crafts and artwork. It's my way to tangibly share the faith with everyone.
These humble works also provide a way to support my vocation, as well as through monetary gift offerings and part-time work since I am solely responsible for all my own financial and temporal needs.
As a consecrated religious under the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, my goal is to dedicate myself more fully to a life of contemplation, working from my hermitage while living in accordance to my Archdiocesan-approved Rule of Life as an canonical hermitess (Canon 603--eremitic life), living a stricter, cloistered contemplative life, and being available for more evangelization and spiritual works in service to the People of God.
My Mission
It is truly a blessing to share the Faith and nurture the love of Christ through the creation of religious arts and crafts. At Fiat Fabrics, I look forward to connecting with individuals who seek to deepen their relationship with God and share His love with those around them.
Whom I Serve
As a contemplative religious, I serve everyone living a life of prayer, centered on the Word of God, through the Eucharist and Lectio Divina, since the main activity of a hermitess is contemplative prayer, a single-minded attention to God.
A consecrated hermitess contemplative life bears witness to God's greatness and His Love, that a person may give herself entirely and exclusively to His service and for a lifetime.
"Catholic art has been much more than an aesthetic expression: it has been a visual catechesis, a tangible manifestation of the transcendent, and a bridge between the human and the divine."
