Frequently Asked Questions

DO YOU HAVE A STORE WHERE I CAN SHOP IN PERSON?

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SHIP A CHALICE?

We do stock a variety of chalices in our shop, and the selection varies as different chalices are sold.  We like to rotate in new chalices, while keeping a selection of our most popular chalices for quick shipment.  Custom engraving is often possible, but will add approximately 2 weeks to your shipment time of an in stock chalice.

Delivery of chalices not currently in stock varies from 4 to 12 weeks depending on artisan availability and workload.  We work with skilled artisans from around the world.  Material availability and transit time to the US may vary.  All shipments are sent from the artisans directly to Southern Liturgicals in Louisiana for inspection prior to being sent to its final destination.

If you require a chalice for a specific date or event, we strongly encourage you to reach out to us prior to placing your order.
