Our Lady of Cana and St. Joseph Trust
Tips for Applicants
Given this is a trust supporting a specific monastic community rather than an open grant-maker, direct funding applications may not be applicable. However, those seeking to support or partner with the monastery should emphasize alignment with Benedictine values, interest in traditional Catholic liturgy, and commitment to rural Tasmanian community engagement. Contact would be through the Notre Dame Priory website's donation or newsletter signup functions.
Giving Philosophy
The trust supports the operational and mission costs of a Benedictine monastery dedicated to preserving ancient Catholic liturgical traditions and providing spiritual services. Giving is directed toward sustaining monastic life, facilitating retreats, promoting sacred sciences, and enabling the monks' work in evangelisation and soul salvation. The trust values authenticity in religious practice, traditional liturgy, and the Benedictine ideals of sacred work and prayer.
