Gifts That Give Back: $3,500 for Our Community

Dear friends of the monastery,
During our “Gifts That Give Back” promotion (Nov 27 – Dec 1), our community came together in an extraordinary way. Through your purchases and donations, we were able to present the Brownsburg-Chatham Food Bank with a cheque for $3,500, supporting families in need this holiday season.Here’s how this gift was built:
  • $1,600 from purchases during the promotion
  • $1,700 from additional donations from our community
  • The monastery added the remainder to give in fullness


We are honoured to share the letter we received from the Food Bank:
