Saint Benedict’s Monastery welcomes gifts of all types and will work with you and your financial advisors to maximize your tax benefits and maximize the value of your gift to the monastery. The Sisters are grateful for any and all-size gifts.

Gifts may be made to continue to support the Sisters’ ministries as a legacy of the donor through a variety of Planned Gifts.
