Learning to navigate the challenges of everyday life takes skill, but doing so amid a pandemic takes patience, critical thinking, cooperation and most importantly faith. We pray that as the struggles increase, so does your faith, allowing you to manage and keep a balance to the course of your days.

Dear Subiaco Family,
Every not-for-profit organization relies on its supporters to help with operational expenses, just as every family needs the income of one or more wage earners to meet its needs. Support to an annual giving appeal from any organization calls for some degree of faith as well. You already know that you believe in the mission and ministries of Subiaco Abbey. You also know that in order for us to continue those good works and service to God’s people, we need your partnership. But for donors, it can often feel like a gift to an annual appeal is like giving to a black hole of unknowns. What did my gift actually do? How did it help further the service that the monks of Subiaco offer ? Supporting these annual funds calls for a bit of “giving by faith.”
A few examples of where your gift helps include the good works of the monks through their hospitality and retreats in the Coury House. Being able to offer this avenue of spiritual renewal and growth is a blessing to new and returning guests, as well as the monks themselves. Generosity to the annual appeal helps the monks further the Benedictine tradition of stewardship and labor as they share a variety of tasks in the sawmill, carpenter shop, gardening and office assignments. Did you know that your gift also supports the efforts of outreach for vocation prospects? And of course, it furthers the main apostolate of the monks through the education of young men at Subiaco Academy. Did that black hole just become a little brighter? We pray it did as we certainly could not do what we do without you.
Generosity is born out of love. Giving by faith is not an easy task but for those who believe in our missions and support what we do, we give our heartfelt thanks. Please consider a gift to support Subiaco Abbey's Annual Appeal to allow our mission to grow and serve even more. Click the Paypal button below to give now.
May we continue to walk in love, as Christ has loved each of us, and stand together in faith in all that we do.
In Christ,
Abbot Elijah Owens, OSB Linda Freeman
Director of Development Operations
