Bishop Finn with us at our arrival to the Kansas City convent.

Dear Friend in Christ,

It is only because of your generous display of Catholic charity that the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles are able to pay for the support of their apostolate and realize their dream of opening a house of rest and retreat for priests, and possibly other houses of the Oblates throughout North America and abroad.

The Church always, and especially during this time of trial, needs holy religious. This fact was confirmed when in 1634 The Blessed Virgin under the title of Our Lady of Good Success appeared to the Franciscan Nun Servant of God Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres, in Quito, Ecuador. (This event is approved by Holy Mother Church.) Our Lady solemnly spoke these words regarding the importance of holy convents and monasteries:

"Woe to the world should it lack monasteries and convents! Men do not comprehend their importance, for, if they understood, they would do all in their power to multiply them, because in them can be found the remedy for all physical and moral evils... No one on the face of the earth is aware whence comes the salvation of souls, the conversion of great sinners, the end of great scourges, the fertility of the land, the end of pestilence and wars, and the harmony between nations. All this is due to the prayers that rise up from monasteries and convents."

If you want to heed Our Lady's advice and understand the great graces a traditional convent, where the Mass and Hours are chanted in Latin, brings to America and elsewhere, please consider sending a donation directly to the Oblates. If you know others who want to show Catholic charity by supporting the sisters' noble effort by giving alms, please forward this website's address to them, or print this page and disseminate it. 

Our new brochure outlining our building plans is available online.

Newsletters and our Blog will show progress in the building project.

May Our Lady of Good Success Reward You!
