Your generosity makes possible the prayer, work, and service of the monks of St. Benedict’s Abbey. As Abbot James shared in his recent letter, each new season reminds us of the continual transformation to which we are called—a conversion of life rooted in prayer, hospitality, and faithful stewardship.

Through your gifts, the Abbey is able to celebrate the sacraments with students and families, support Benedictine College and Maur Hill–Mount Academy, care for our elderly monks, and serve the Church far beyond the Kansas hills. In the past year, our benefactors helped us not only reach but surpass our goals for both our capital campaign and annual budget. For this, we give thanks to God and to you.

Yet our mission continues. Your gift today helps sustain the rhythm of prayer and service that is at the heart of monastic life and allows us to carry out the work entrusted to us with stability and joy.

Please prayerfully consider making a donation in support of St. Benedict’s Abbey. Together, we can continue building up the Kingdom of God—here in Kansas and throughout the Church.
