PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

 To Whom It May Concern: 

St. Benedict’s Abbey is not in solidarity nor does it support individuals, groups, or institutions who claim to be a part of her or who have us included in their web site without our knowledge.  There are many groups who dedicate themselves to include institutions in their web pages without authorization causing therefore great harm to such institutions.  This is why we make this public announcement:

 St. Benedict’s Abbey is not linked to any independent group or institutions whose beliefs are contrary to the faith of the Catholic Church and to Christian doctrine.

  Sincerely,

 The Abbot and the monks of St. Benedict's Abbey
