Christmas Appeal

The Season of Caring and Giving!

In many municipalities, and especially with retail commerce, the Christmas Season started long before Halloween! On November 30, we enter the Season of Advent, culminating on Christmas!

Christmas is a time when we remember loved ones. It is a time when we think of the less fortunate and in spite of changes in financial resources, American people show that they care for their neighbor in need. Let’s put politics aside – let’s focus on the need of others and find ways of how we can bring a little Christmas cheer but also lasting help to disadvantaged brothers and sisters in our own neighborhoods and in countries where non-profit organizations and especially religious groups make a difference.

Organizations navigate through funding cuts for programs and reduced federal subsidies. We Missionary Benedictines have never applied for federal funding. We are committed to helping where help is needed through the generosity of our friends, stressing that one’s own needs have to be met first. Then we can focus on “SHARING IS CARING!”

We Missionary Benedictines face challenges of providing the necessities for orphans who attend our schools, especially in Africa, but also in India and the Philippines. Providing housing, food and shelter in addition to education for the poorest of the poor, who lack the love, support,  and care of a family as result of natural disasters or other devastating events of life – often tribal wars – is and remains a top priority.

This season of “Sharing and Caring” is an opportunity to appeal to people of “good will” to reach out to our young brothers and sisters in need. Funds received via our website in response to the current appeal will be designated to help orphans in our care. Together we make a difference in the lives of many especially during this Christmas Season. Thank you!

We wish you a joyous Christmas Season and every grace and blessing from God for the Year 2026.
