"I have received permission to post an appeal on behalf of the Dominican fathers and cloistered sisters of Avrille, France. I am a member of the Third Order of Penance of St. Dominic through this priory and have received word from them that they are in dire need of assistance right now. I have permission from the fathers to make this appeal on their behalf. Please help in any way you can".

DOMINICANS OF AVRILLÉ NEED OUR HELP

Sitting by and watching everything for which we have fought for so long seeming to fall down around us can invoke a feeling of helpless frustration. If you really long to do something material to help in the fight for Traditional Catholicism, I have a timely suggestion for you.

The Traditional Dominican fathers of Avrillé, France (and their cloistered sisters who live nearby) are in urgent need of financial support. These strong stalwarts of Traditional Catholicism need our help. They have had at least one preaching/retreat event cancelled by those who shall remain nameless.

To quote one of the fathers:

We have literally run out of all funds, and yet we still have to keep up with monthly utilities payments, salaries for the school personnel, taxes, etc... With the economic crisis, donations have become rare and many families are not able to pay the tuition for our schools. We are happy to be all the more dependent on Providence, and we offer joyously our privations for the spiritual and material benefit of our benefactors (for whom we pray every day).

If you can help, please send any donation you can afford to one of these addresses:

France:
Couvent de la Haye-aux-Bonshommes
49240 Avrillé
France

United States : (donations are tax deductible)

This was added by ancien regime latter. 'Everyone please slow down. I have been asked to publish a clarification which I am working on right now. Evidently the situation is not a dire as I thought. They do still need our help and are always worthy of our donations, but the wolf is not at the door.

I will re-post as soon as I clarify everything with them. Working via e-mail is not the most efficient means for clarity and understanding.

I apologize for my mistakes and will get back to all of you as soon as possible.

Thank you for you concern and help'
