The other day I found the Sisters’ Lent Appeal envelope on my desk between two books. Honestly, I felt sheepish that I had fully intended to make my offering and then when the envelope was out of sight and out of mind I forgot.

I did not want to repeat this again so decided to give how much of my finances is already set up: automatic recurring payments. We’ve heard it on MPR many times: for the cost of a cup of coffee, you can [fill in the blank for impact]. 

And you know what? It’s true.

·         A gift of $5 a month (just $60 for the year) ensures good and healthy food at the Monastery for our Sisters and our guests.

·         $25 a month ($300 for the year) supports staff essential to the day-to-day operations of the Monastery and its Benedictine Center

·         $50 a month ($600 for the year) cares for our many Sisters in their retirement from external ministry

·         $100 a month ($1200 for the year) is the love we offer our Sisters with exceptional onsite health care. 

When more and more of us make a monthly gift our collective love and support for the Sisters grows exponentially. Join me today by becoming a monthly donor.
