How You Can Help
Regular Donations
While we seek to live the injunction of our Holy Father Benedict to create viable ways of supporting ourselves, like most monasteries we still rely largely upon the generosity of our benefactors. After all of our expenses for electricity, fuel, land upkeep, provisions for the oratory, medical bills, insurance, food, etc., our expenses come to around €40K per month. Regular donations every month, whether of €10, €50, €100, or more, are greatly needed to sustain our work. Every donation matters!
Gifts to help us grow
At the same time, we are in desperate need of renovation and expansion. We have planned various stages for these efforts:
Stage 1 (€50–€70K) — several projects to reorganize the layout of the grounds and refurbish existing buildings.
Stage 2 (€150–€200K) — small construction projects oriented to the spiritual benefit of the community and to help us grow our various enterprises.
Stage 3 (€4 mil.) — Larger construction projects such as our long-awaited Church, a new guesthouse, new buildings, etc.
