Gift of Peace

2026 Capital Campaign

​

​

The Abbey has long been a place of rest, renewal, and peace.

 

Through this campaign, the Abbey will be addressing important needs that will help preserve the Abbey while making it more welcoming and accessible. Improvements include repairing sections of the roof, preserving the beauty of the stained-glass windows, creating a more accessible and user-friendly entrance, and installing air conditioning in the auditorium so that gatherings and programs can be comfortably enjoyed by all.

ADOPT-A-ROOM

Express your creativity while helping refresh and refurnish one of several spaces at the Abbey. Adopt-a-Room patrons cover the cost of materials and labor needed to update these areas.

 

Opportunities include guest rooms, spaces in the monks’ wing including the dorm-style communal bathrooms, and common areas such as the activities room and library.

​

Upon completion, patrons may dedicate the renovated space in honor or memory of a loved one, friend, or as a tribute of their choosing.
