My Dear Friends and Oblates,
The monks of Valyermo need your help. As you know, thousands look to us with the hope of experiencing God’s life and love through our Abbey, and we deeply desire to be spiritual stewards of the sources of renewal so often sought here. Our life of contemplative prayer, counsel, retreats, liturgy, and ministry is a gift that the Church and the world cannot afford to be without. However, in the current economic crisis, this is a real danger that we are facing.
My friends, I turn to you with hope. Would you be willing to support us in cultivating a consistent and dependable source of income by donating one dollar a day to the Abbey? Your dollar a day will help us to protect this beautiful and peaceful haven, ensuring that we continue to be a pilgrim’s refuge of rest and renewal for you and for countless weary hearts, tired bodies, and thirsty souls seeking shelter from life’s storms through peace, quiet, and prayer.
I humbly ask that you consider supporting the Abbey in this way, and so help to foster and preserve this dearly needed oasis in the desert…for you, for us, and for all. The monk’s life is poor, but we offer to you in return all that we have to give: the fruit of our life, and a gift of the heart-our prayer for you, forever. In this you can be sure of an eternal return on your investment.
If you would be willing to help sustain the Abbey by giving a dollar a day-or any amount of your choosing- please click the link below and remember to include your prayer requests, and know always that we carry you close in heart, in prayer.
Gratefully yours,
Fr. Damien Toilolo, O.S.B.
