Fundraiser for Gregorian Books

monasteryliturgist

Dear All,

Our Religious community is looking to seriously revamp all of our Liturgical Books so that we can save money on printing costs and replace books that have been hand bound, with missing pages, and try to get the same edition so we have more unity. We are looking to fundraise $48,000.00 - the estimate of what these books will cost for our growing community. If anyone is interested in helping with this project please feel free to send me a private message. God Bless each and every one of you whether or not you are able to help.

Whew… for a second I thought you were only buying hand copied manuscripts! I was going to volunteer!

I wish! We have joked about that before... making our own illumination books. Although, Solesmes books come quite close to that expense!

While equipping the whole choir with handwritten antiphonals is a matter for jokes, there may still be a good use for an illuminated manuscript for special occasions - like the evangeliary for Matins of principal solemnities of the Annunciation abbey (also known as St. Gabriel abbey), Prague

I couldn’t agree more.

If people would like to contribute, they can send a check to the address of the monastery, as found on their web page:
https://ssvmusa.org/index.php/our-province/st-edith-stein/

I'd recommend marking the gift as intended for the Gregorian chant books.

Incidentally, if your bank has a free service for sending out payments by check, you can probably use that to send a donation, without having to bother with stamps, envelopes, etc.
