Suds and solidarity: Buying Benedictine beer helps rebuild basilica<\/strong><\/p>\n

ROME – The Latin-liturgy chanting, beer-brewing Benedictine monks of Norcia, Italy, the birthplace of St. Benedict, are living and praying in temporary structures after an earthquake in August damaged their buildings and a big quake in late October razed their basilica, except for the facade.<\/p>\n

The monks have not been able to brew beer since before the summer quake, but in a newsletter to supporters in mid-December, they reported that bottles shipped earlier to the United States are available for Christmas gift giving. Their U.S. online store has all the details.<\/p>\n

The purchase of beer will help the monks rebuild and will help the devastated town of Norcia.<\/p>\n

Their online store<\/a> is up and operating!<\/p>\n

These same monks have an amazing CD of chant, which is well worth purchasing as well. Click on the image to order.<\/p>\n

<\/a> \/><\/p>\n

Finally, every year, these monks put out a great wall calendar – I’ve had one for the last several years. Due to the disruption caused by the earthquakes, they are unable to print one this year.<\/p>\n

Instead, you can download the PDF for free and print it yourself!<\/p>\n

I hear tell that it’s best done on 11×17 inch paper.<\/p>\n

Here’s the link: CALENDAR!<\/a><\/p>\n

If you download their calendar and use it, you might consider putting a few coins in their collection box here: DONATE!<\/a><\/p>\n
