Dear Friends,

We hope this message finds you well and filled with the spirit of goodwill. As we reflect on the past year, we are deeply moved by the generosity and spirit of community that continues to shape Montserrat. Thanks to your support, more than 4,900 people came to Montserrat during the past twelve months to rest, pray, and grow in their faith. Your generosity last year helped us meet our fundraising goal and ensure that Montserrat remains a sacred space for rest, reflection, and renewal. This year, our vision continues to grow as we turn our attention to two priorities close to our hearts.

The first is the ongoing maintenance and renovation of our aging buildings, so Montserrat can keep welcoming retreatants for generations to come. Caring for these buildings is no small task, and your generosity keeps Montserrat safe, comfortable, and welcoming, and helps us support the dedicated staff whose quiet service and hospitality are at the heart of every retreat.

The second is just as close to our mission: to make retreats affordable and extend aid to those in financial need. No one is turned away. Every retreatant who comes to Montserrat deserves to find rest, healing, and renewal here, regardless of circumstance.

Both of these commitments require significant resources, and this work is undertaken with compassion and care for our guests and our mission. Our fundraising goal this year is $275,000.

Behind every number is a human story.  One retreatant wrote, “For the first time in many years I found the quiet space to hear God’s voice again.”
