Abbeys weathered the storms that beset the early Church, and in turn helped forge Christian thought and culture. Abbeys have withstood war, plague, and famine, and helped rebuild Europe in the aftermath. Through the centuries, abbeys have stood as testaments to man's relentless pursuit of truth and goodness and beauty--that is to say, his relentless pursuit of God. Now, amidst the troubles of our own age, people are again turning to abbeys to lead them in this pursuit.
We carry out ancient work, but it is no less vital, no less powerful by its age. Indeed, the world still needs beauty, truth, and goodness. Men and women of faith still need the healing and saving graces of the Sacraments. The world around us still needs prayers. And God, in His great love, has given us the grace to meet these needs.
This is the vital and life-changing work of the abbey, and it is cause for such great joy.
It is in this spirit of joy that Abbot Eugene Hayes, O.Praem. and the Norbertine Fathers of St. Michael's Abbey invite you to attend The Gala, celebrating the 3rd anniversary of the dedication of St. Michael's Abbey and church, and the role of the monastery in the modern world.
Please make your reservation by Wednesday, April 24.
Kindly direct all questions about tickets to events@stmichaelsabbey.com or call (657) 314-9049.
Proceeds from the Gala help advance the work of St. Michael's Abbey. By uniting your generosity with our mission, you make yourself a partner in this work. Together, we are bringing the peace and truth of Christ to those who need it.
Thank you!
