Dear Friends of the Abbey,
May the peace of the Lord be with you.
Thank you very much for your generous support of last year’s Abbey Annual Drawing fundraiser, which commenced at the beginning of the pandemic. We were unsure of the outcome of our efforts because everything seemed uncertain at that time; but the support was overwhelming. Thank you!
Because of your kindness, we are weathering the storm of the pandemic and up to now are keeping our head above water. Though the future is still uncertain for the Abbey, we are grateful to God that we are still here and in good health.
The number of COVID-19 cases is steadily declining. God willing, this decline will allow the Abbey to open in the near future as soon as it is safe for the monks and our guests to be together once again given spacing limitations.
Enclosed, please find your annual drawing tickets. Feel free to share them with friends & family and request more if necessary. A return envelope is provided for your generous donation. Also, this year we will have digital drawing tickets available that you may purchase online… more information coming soon. Wishing you the best of luck this year!
Thank you again for your faithful support. We could not do it without you!
May the Lord continue to bless and protect you; and may He be glorified in all we do.
With much gratitude,
Abbot Damien Toilolo, O.S.B.
