The monks’ living expenses, the costs associated with their call to work and prayer, and the activities of the cloister or daily assignments, are deposited into the Monastic Life Fund.

Our healthcare services, retirement planning, and security projects provide for the future health and safety of monks of every age. St. Benedict’s Abbey is also blessed to have an infirmary where our eldest brothers can live out their vocation with their monastic family to the end. Gifts earmarked for these needs are deposited into the Faithful Servant Fund.

Even before a man enters the monastery, the Abbey invests in helping him discern the call to a religious life. Once fully professed, all monks continue to be formed as spiritual leaders and, for some monks, as priests. The costs of our vocations program, studies for the priesthood, and lifelong formation and discernment, are designated for the Good Shepherd Fund.

The Abbey serves many apostolates, and monks partner with Catholic-affiliated ministries in numerous ways. Education, family support, chaplaincies, parochial service, and more, are just a few of the many ways in which the Kansas Monks work in the world without being of the world.

The capital needs for maintaining, modernizing, and enhancing the Abbey church, cloister, guesthouse, and campus constitute an investment in the future generations of monks who will live and repose here. The monks of today are stewards of a patrimony that they have received and wish to ameliorate for decades and even centuries to come. Gifts to support that end are deposited in the Abbey Restoration Fund.

When a donor would like to designate a gift for a specific expense not categorized into one of the funds above, or when the Abbey identifies an out-of-the-ordinary need for a special project, those contributions are deposited into the Great Commission Fund.
