A Providential Opportunity

1/27/2021

Through the kindness of a benefactor of the monastery we have been very generously offered chapel and sacristy furniture from a disused chapel in Germany, including twelve pews, sacristy cupboards and drawers and a working harmonium.
     These beautiful items, of which we are in need for the monastery church, are free of charge provided that we can arrange and pay for their removal, transport and installation. After consulting different transporters we have received a competitive quotation and must now work to raise the necessary funds to move the items at the beginning of March before construction work begins in the disused chapel from which they come.
     Given the quality and value of the items themselves, this seems to be a truly Providential opportunity that should allow the monastery church and sacristy to be in a much better condition, and with increased space for the faithful, for the worthy celebration of Holy Week and Easter.
     We are currently cleaning out the old sacristy and preparing it for the building of a new floor and lighting to house the furniture upon arrival. Exact installation costs are not yet known. The total cost of transport and installation is estimated at between 3,000 - 4,000 euro.

     Please help us to obtain these items if you can. Any and every amount is a blessing no matter how small or large. Please also make this appeal known to others. Donations can be made through our support page which give details of the tax benefits possible for donors in France, the UK, USA and Germany. There is a Facebook fundraiser, and people can donate directly to our UK Charity through Just Giving or to our USA Foundation by PayPal at msbfoundationusa@gmail.com
     Please donate if you are able – every donation helps.
    God bless and reward you for anything you can do to help! Be assured of our gratitude and daily prayers for our benefactors.
