Monastery of Our Lady of the Rosary: Dominican Nuns of Summit, New Jersey

The Dominican Nuns of Summit, New Jersey are a Roman Catholic cloistered monastic community. Their primary mission is to pray for the salvation of souls, and to support the preaching mission of the Dominican friars. They follow the Rule of Saint Augustine in "oneness of mind and heart" while leading a hidden life of Eucharistic prayer, adoration, thanksgiving, and intercession which proclaims Jesus Christ to the world.

The first community of Dominican nuns was formed in 1206 by St. Dominic de Guzman. The Monastery of Our Lady of the Rosary traces its roots to 19th century France, where Fr. Damien-Marie Saintourens, O.P., and Mother Rose of Saint Mary Werhle, O.P. founded a community of Dominican cloistered contemplative sisters whose special apostolate was the Perpetual Rosary. The first American Perpetual Rosary monastery was established at the Blue Chapel, Union City, NJ, in 1891. In 1919, fifteen sisters led by Mother Mary Imelda Gauthier, O.P., left there to found the Monastery of Our Lady of the Rosary in Summit, NJ.

The Sisters began making Seignadou Soaps* as Christmas gifts for their Volunteer Guild, at a time when they were seeking potential income producing ventures. The business has provided a stable supplemental income for the monastery's needs like insurance and medical and utility bills. All Seignadou Soaps products are made by the sisters at the monastery, and while they provide comfort and pleasure to customers, they also serve as a way to introduce people to the nuns' monastic way of life and to share their devotion to God.

*Seignadou "Sign of God" refers to the globe of fire seen by St. Dominic over the church that became the first foundation of the Dominican order, and understood as a confirmation of his work by God.

I haven't tried this soap yet, but the scent is amazing! I've tried other Monastery Greeting soaps and they are great! I know this one will be, as well!

The bars of soap are beautiful and last up to a month. It also keeps my skin moist so less need for moisturizer.

I like this soap and scent

This is the 3rd or 4th time I've purchased this soap. I like the Lavender scent and it leaves my hands feeling & smelling clean. I know it says that it has a drop of Holy Water in it. to me, that's just another way of getting closer to our Heavenly Father. The bars are bigger and last longer then any usual bar of soap. Another reason I like it.

I really wanted to send a friend that is going through a difficult time and this was something that I could give to her that she could really find useful and enjoy, even as she is coping the loss of a parent. I appreciate that even if I am far away I was able to send something that was made by a monastery that is so dear to my heart. Not only was I able to support a group of beautiful ladies that I highly respect, but as little as it may be, if i was able to bring a small bit of comfort to a friend, than I am thankful for that. Finally, I just want to thank Monastery Greetings for everything that you do and may our Heaveny Father continue to bless you all, always.

The fragrances are lovely and both the fragrance and the soap itself last unti the bar is used up. Moreover they are very gentile on my hyper-sensitive skin.

The soap has a wonderful creamy feel, which is particularly nice since we are supposed to be washing our hands so often.
