Church and religious items

Kerala supplies the Syro-Malabar and Latin parishes of the diaspora, and a new mission needs a great deal at once: vestments, altar linen, a thurible, a tabernacle and the altar furnishings. Statues and printed books are listed separately. We consolidate the order from Kerala's church suppliers and ship it by air or sea.

What we source in this line

Items are supplied against enquiry. Where a buyer sends a specification we match it; where they do not, we send options with pack sizes and a sample.

  • Vestments, including Syro-Malabar rite sets, and altar linen
  • Thuribles, tabernacles, chalices and altar furnishings
  • Crucifixes and devotional articles
