Dear Friends,

We hope this message finds you well and filled with the spirit of goodwill. Last year, we embarked on a journey together to elevate the Montserrat retreat experience, and your incredible generosity transformed our vision into reality. As a new year draws near, we are excited to share our plans for 2024 and invite you to be a part of this inspiring journey once again.

In 2023, the Montserrat Board of Trustees set a lofty goal to raise $250,000, and your unwavering support exceeded our expectations. Thanks to your kindness, we accomplished significant milestones, including essential renovations to St. Joseph’s Hall and the resolution of everyday maintenance needs. Importantly, this progress was made while ensuring that no one was turned away from our retreats due to inability to pay retreat expenses. Your support last year was instrumental in sustaining our mission, and for that, we extend our heartfelt gratitude.

To maintain our commitment to offering retreats at an accessible price and to further our vision for 2024, we are once again turning to our cherished benefactors and dedicated retreatants for our Annual Giving Campaign. Despite the considerable rise in our operational costs due to inflation, we have not increased the cost of a retreat. Our aspiration for 2024 is to raise once again $250,000, enabling us to extend the hand of financial aid to those yearning for the transformative encounter with God through our retreats. Additionally, we are committed to continuing vital restoration projects.

Your contribution, no matter the size, plays a significant role achieving these goals. To make your tax-deductible donation, click on the “Make A Donation” button, or call us at 940-321-6020.

With heartfelt gratitude and blessings,

Fr. Anthony Rauschuber, S.J.
