Help Us Build a Cloister at the Heart of Our Abbey
Our monastic community has long adapted existing buildings to its needs. However, the lack of dedicated spaces for prayer and work now calls for a new step. To deepen our monastic life and prepare for the future, we wish to build the first cloister at the heart of our abbey.
We entrust this project to the intercession of Saint Joseph. We ask him to guide and bless this endeavor, that it may serve as a place of prayer, work, and peace for generations to come.
Would you help us build this haven of silence and contemplation? Every donation, large or small, is a step toward our goal.
