Peace and Good in Christ!
 
Traditionally monasteries have been seen as the beating contemplative heart of the entire Church. Here at Little Portion Hermitage and Monastery we take the charism and tradition very seriously! We need your partnership and help to continue living that call in Christ. 
 
We just celebrated our 40th anniversary since our foundation in 1978. We look forward to another 40+ years as well! The first 40 we “wandered in the desert” a bit because we were still learning the monastic way. We often sinned. We haven’t learned everything, but we’ve learned a lot! Now we are truly hopeful as we enter into the “promised land” of our charism and gospel way of life in the years ahead.
 
Especially after our 40 year celebration at our General Gathering in October 2018, we are convinced that our community is unique in the Church in the United States. We have been given a special gift from God. What we see is unfolding before us is nothing short of a phenomenon in the Spirit! 
 
As we see so much grave trouble within every aspect of western culture, communities like ours are vitally important. Authentic, yet new integrated expressions of ancient forms of community life are the glue that will keep much the Christian community together. What we’re doing is challenging and prophetic. And it is very difficult. We need your love, support, and prayers in order to succeed.
 
Today I am asking for you to consider partnering with us via a generous end of year financial gift. We know you have many choices during this season of giving and pray you choose to support the good work of the Brothers and Sisters of Charity. You may give a onetime gift or donate via our sustained giving option.
