Can you make a donation to Mepkin?

Because we closed our front gate and stopped all visitors to the monastery, no one at Mepkin has caught the virus. However, also because of this shutdown, which was necessary to keep us safe, we lost all of our income producing activities, including our mushroom production, the Retreat Center, and the Abbey Store.  We have no idea when we will be able to resume these activities.

If you, too, are suffering economic hardships, please know that you are in our prayers. If you are in a safe financial position, perhaps you would consider making a donation to Mepkin to help us sustain our life of prayer, so we can be ready to welcome visitors, guests and retreatants back into our midst when all is safe.

To donate online, click here, or you may send a check to Mepkin Abbey, 1098 Mepkin Abbey Road, Moncks Corner, SC 29461.

Thank you and God bless you and your loved ones.

Fr. Joe Tedesco
Superior, Mepkin Abbey

Vocation Thought for the Day

When a culture says: “Be free,” but one realizes that it is really saying: “Do what I do; be like me,” how does one really take hold of the freedom God offers?
