There are many ways to support the work of the monastery and the church. A number of volunteer organizations, such as the Knights and the Garden Guild, provide assistance during Masses and events, or assist in the maintenance of the gardens.

You can also support the monastery through donations, or by dedicating Masses, services, and prayers in honor of a loved one.

The monastery is currently undergoing extensive restoration to its dome and window casings. We welcome donations to assist in this important effort.

800 hundred years ago, the Roman Catholic Church entrusted the guardianship of the Holy Land and other shrines of the Christian religion to the Order of St. Francis. This work has grown to include support of schools and missions in the Holy Land, as well as care for refugees and other needy people throughout the region. Mount St. Sepulchre is dedicated to this trust and to the related task of informing Americans and others of the continued need for this custody and care.
