Empower a Sacred Lent at the Monastery
As we enter this sacred season of Lent, we are called to a time of reflection, prayer, and spiritual renewal. It is a season that reminds us of Christ’s journey of sacrifice and love—a journey that we are invited to walk in faith, gratitude, and generosity.
At St. Paul’s Monastery and the Benedictine Center, we strive to create a sanctuary of peace and prayer, offering spiritual nourishment to all who seek it. From quiet retreats and contemplative spaces to life-changing spiritual direction and community outreach, we are committed to the Benedictine values of hospitality, prayer, and transformation. But we cannot do this work alone.
This Lent, we humbly ask for your support of our Lenten Appeal. Your generosity ensures that:
- The Benedictine Center remains a welcoming space for those seeking guidance, silence, and renewal.
- We can continue offering retreats and spiritual programs that foster deep reflection and faith formation.
- Our Sisters and staff can extend hospitality and care to those in need, providing a place of solace and community.
- The Monastery remains a spiritual home where all are invited to experience the presence of God.
Lent is a season of giving—an opportunity to walk in the footsteps of Christ by sharing our blessings with others. Will you join us in this sacred mission by making a gift today? Your support, no matter the amount, helps sustain the spiritual heart of our community.
You are able to designate your gift toward the greatest need of the Monastery or the greatest need of the Benedictine Center.
Thank you for your faith, your prayers, and your generosity. May this Lenten season bring you closer to God’s love and grace.
Steps to Volunteering
Karen Fleming writes, “There are actually no such steps to become a volunteer, but I remember how I achieved it when I was at the Monastery.”
