Blessings of Grace and Growth Archabbot Kurt Stasiak, OSB
I am ever grateful for this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the witness, generosity, and support of all the members of our Abbot Martin Marty Guild and The Einsiedeln Society. You continue to enable the present and future work of Saint Meinrad to flourish.
Our community of monks continues to be enlivened with the blessings we’ve received over this past year. While we still feel the loss of our confreres Fr. Louis Hacker, Fr. Aurelius Boberek, and Fr. Colman Grabert due to their passing into eternal life, we offer praise and thanksgiving to God for their impact on our community. We are also thankful for our current group of seven young men engaged in the formation and discernment process of fully joining our monastery. These seven men are all age 35 or younger; one of whom is 25, another 20. This group is the largest and youngest set of combined candidates, novices, and junior monks we’ve had in formation since 2015.
It is a busy time on the Hill with much earth moving, digging, and burying of holding tanks and pipes as we near completion of our global thermal energy installation for our campus. In addition, another set of solar panels are being installed adjacent to our existing panels. These projects will reduce purchased electricity by nearly 60% and natural gas consumption by 32%. The new space in the Archabbey Library for our Archives and Saint Meinrad History Museum is also being well utilized to preserve the history of our monastery and the Swiss American Congregation, of which we belong.
All this is made possible because of your significant support to Saint Meinrad as Abbot Martin Marty Guild and The Einsiedeln Society members. Thank you for your support. Know of our daily prayers for you and yours. Please do continue to remember us in yours. F

Advancing Service to the Church and the World
You, the members of the Abbot Martin Marty Guild and The Einsiedeln Society, are the unsung heroes of Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology. Without you, we could not accomplish the mission of effectively educating and forming our seminarians, permanent diaconate candidates, and lay students who come to us each year. As you continue to share your gifts to advance our work, know that I am truly grateful.
The fall semester is going by quickly, the spirit in the school is exceptional, and enrollment in all our programs continues to be high. We have 116 seminarians from 21 dioceses and seven religious communities. The number of men entering the newly formed first stage of discernment and formation, called the propaedeutic year, has doubled from last year. We have 67 students enrolled in our Graduate Theology Program this fall. The Permanent Deacon Formation Program is currently serving 15 dioceses, forming 248 men in 16 cohorts for service to the Church. The hundreds of ministerial leaders we form each day at Saint Meinrad in turn serve thousands of people in their local communities throughout the world.
I also share with you that Saint Meinrad received nearly $10 million in annual and planned giving support this last fiscal year. Our endowment fund has grown from $76 million to $89 million. While expenses continue to grow in pace with the economy, we continue to meet every challenge with diligence and resilience, due in large part to your continuing support and generosity.
Thank you for sharing who you are and what you have with Saint Meinrad. Our mission and ministry are made possible by your unfailing support. May God continue to bless you abundantly. F

Dr. Cora Veza:
Generosity through service and support
The word “corban” comes from the Hebrew word qorbān and means a sacrifice or offering to God. When Dr. Cora Veza of Elizabethtown, KY, established an endowment earlier this year, she named it The Corban Fund for Monastery Repairs. The fund is her offering to God and meets a very practical need at Saint Meinrad: to cover the cost of monastery repairs.
“The monastery is the monks’ home. It’s like any house. Sometimes it needs repairs just like my house does,” explains Dr. Veza.
Generous with her gifts
Dr. Veza became a member of Saint Meinrad’s Einsiedeln Society this year when she established The Corban Fund. The Einsiedeln Society recognizes individuals who invest in the future of Saint Meinrad through remembering Saint Meinrad in their will, making a planned gift, or establishing an endowment. Dr. Veza likes to support infrastructure and gave in the form of an endowment so she could specify where the gift would go. She can add to it at any time, and she hopes others will contribute to it as well.
She also gives annually to Saint Meinrad and has been a member of the Abbot Martin Marty Guild since 2014. The AMMG recognizes individuals who give annual gifts of $1,000 or more.
“God gave me more than I need, so I give it,” she explains. “Every time I give something, I feel good.” Dr. Veza’s sense of giving developed when she grew up in the Philippines. She studied medicine at the University of Santo Tomas in the Philippines and completed a medical mission in poor areas of the country. She witnessed the poor on the streets and helped children who lived in cardboard boxes.
“If all you meet are rich people, you will never know how the poor feel. I see poor people and my heart breaks for them,” she says. “There are so many rich people. If they would distribute their wealth, nobody would be hungry.”
After Dr. Veza completed her medical education, she interned at Subic Bay U.S. Naval Base in the Philippines, and in 1974, she moved to New Jersey to intern at St. Francis Medical Center. She completed her hematology/oncology fellowship at Medical College of Pennsylvania and began her career in hematology/oncology in New Jersey.
Dr. Veza married her classmate, Gregorio, who was an anesthesiologist, and they had three children together. She moved to Kentucky in 1986 and started a private practice in hematology/oncology.
Generous with her time and talent
Dr. Veza retired in 2020, but even before then she did volunteer work. Her current volunteer work includes:
• Member of the Board of Overseers for the Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology since 2013.
• Chapter coordinator for Louisville Chapter of Benedictine Oblates of Saint Meinrad.
• Board member at Sacred Heart School Systems in Louisville, KY.
• Volunteer medical consultant for the Franciscan Friars of Our Lady of Consolation Province and she was recently voted to be an honorary member.
• Chairperson of the Cultural Diversity Committee at St. James Parish.
• Asian Pacific Islander consultant for the Office of Multicultural Ministry in the Archdiocese of Louisville.
Generous with Saint Meinrad
Dr. Veza is an oblate of Saint Meinrad and has served on the Board of Overseers for 11 years, but her relationship with Saint Meinrad began in 2010, when she came to campus for a retreat.
“I was upset with God because my husband had died, my daughter almost died, and I almost died. This happened in three consecutive years.” She explains. “I just had all that tragedy, and I was angry, angry, angry.”
The Benedictine motto of Ora et Labora, pray and work, resonated with Dr. Veza. Her husband passed away in 1994, and at the time of the retreat, all she did was pray and work. During the retreat, she learned about Saint Meinrad’s oblate community.
An oblate is a lay person who follows the prayer schedule of the monks and lives according to the principles in the Rule of St. Benedict.
“The Rule of St. Benedict is not just for monks, it’s for everyday life,” she says. “I quote the Rule of St. Benedict to myself or sometimes to other people. If you read it every day, it becomes part of your life.”
Shortly after that retreat, Fr. Meinrad Brune, OSB, the oblate director at the time, came to her parish and invested her as an oblate novice. Becoming an
oblate appealed to her because she wanted more structure in her prayer life.
In 2013, Dr. Veza was invited to join the Board of Overseers, the advisory board for Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology. She likes the education Saint Meinrad provides and believes in forming good priests.
“I call priests doctors of souls. Saint Meinrad does a
good job of forming them in this capacity,” she says. “It’s really a privilege to be on the board. After each meeting, I learn something new and I feel gratified. In exchange, I want to be able to help with the seminarians’ education. I’m happy to serve.”
Saint Meinrad is important to Dr. Veza, and she wants to support the place and mission in any way she can. F
“The monastery is the monks’ home. It’s like any house. Sometimes it needs repairs just like my house does.”

Abbot Martin Marty Guild
The Abbot Martin Marty Guild has seen tremendous growth, both in the number of members and in their generosity, since it was established in 1992.
Members are listed in this publication within the following levels of annual giving:
AMMG Spires $10,000 or More
AMMG Pillar $5,000 - $9,999
AMMG Archway $2,500 - $4,999
AMMG Sandstone $1,000 - $2,499
This donor recognition society is named after Saint Meinrad’s first abbot, Martin Marty, OSB. At age 26, Fr. Martin was sent to Saint Meinrad from the motherhouse, the Abbey of Einsiedeln in Switzerland. Fr. Martin could hardly have imagined more dire circumstances than those he found when he arrived in southern Indiana in 1860.
The struggling community had faced myriad problems since its founding six years earlier: mounting financial debt, illness and disease, overcrowding in the tiny cabin, the deaths of several monks, severe heat and drought that led to crop
failure, and dissension among the leadership. As the United States neared the outbreak of the Civil War, it looked as if Saint Meinrad might close.
Through prayer, hard work, and Fr. Martin’s strong leadership, the community gained a steadier economic and spiritual footing. In addition to his guidance in reducing the debt and building up the community, Fr. Martin devoted time to teaching, helping in parishes, and conducting retreats and other pastoral work.
Within a decade of Fr. Martin’s arrival, the health of the fledgling community had been restored to the point that it was made an independent abbey in 1870, with Fr. Martin named as the first abbot.
Members of the Abbot Martin Marty Guild:
• Are recognized as leaders in supporting the prayer and work of Saint Meinrad.
• Are invited to an annual Day of Recollection held at Saint Meinrad.
• Are included in the annual listing of donors. (Members may request to remain anonymous.)
• Are remembered daily in prayer by the monks of Saint Meinrad.
Benefactors are especially remembered as the monastic community gathers for Vespers on the annual Day of Recollection.
First-time members also receive a special medallion, mounted on a base engraved with their name, which symbolizes their membership in the Abbot Martin Marty Guild.
For the most part, the annual gifts from members of the Abbot Martin Marty Guild support the current programs and operations of Saint Meinrad Archabbey and Seminary and School of Theology.
Some examples of the programs that Guild members help make possible are:
•Classroom instruction
•Spiritual formation
•Retreats
•Wellness activities
•Counseling center
•Guest lectures
•Ministry opportunities
•Workshops and conferences
•Vocations promotion and recruitment
•Health services for students and monks
•Upkeep of the buildings and grounds
•New books and other resources for the library
•Continuing education and professional development for our faculty
• And more....
All of these directly benefit our students and our monastic community. F
Thank you for being a generous partner in our work.

Membership list as of September 1, 2024.
The Einsiedeln Society
The Einsiedeln Society was established to recognize those donors who have contributed to Saint Meinrad by making planned gifts.
Donors qualify for membership in The Einsiedeln Society by one of these ways:
1. Naming Saint Meinrad in their will;
2. Making a deferred gift (via a trust agreement, charitable gift annuity, life insurance policy, or retirement plan beneficiary designation, etc.); or
3. Making an outright or cumulative gift of at least $10,000 for a specific endowment purpose. With a gift of $10,000 or more, they can create a named endowment for the purpose or memorial designation of their choice.
Many of the Society’s members have included Saint Meinrad in their estate plans. It also is possible to experience the joy of seeing your gifts at work during your lifetime. The simplest way to do that is through an outright gift of cash or appreciated securities. Several other gift opportunities are available, usually referred to as planned gifts.
Most planned gifts offer several benefits. Among them are the opportunity to:
• Expand your philanthropic ability
• Provide income tax savings through a charitable deduction
• Avoid or reduce capital gains tax
• Increase current spendable income
• Simplify the management of financial resources
• Reduce the costs and time of ultimate estate settlement.
A gift annuity is a simple approach to increasing your current income, availing yourself of tax benefits and making a significant gift to Saint Meinrad. Because state regulations vary, Saint Meinrad does not offer charitable gift annuities to residents of all states.
In more substantial and complex situations, the use of a charitable remainder trust accomplishes many of the same results, but provides the possibility of tailoring the gift to accomplish more specific personal or financial objectives as well. Both the gift annuity and the charitable remainder trust can be used to benefit one or more individuals besides the donor.
The gift of a home or farm can provide a generous tax deduction, which increases spendable income. This can be done through a life estate agreement, without sacrificing the use or control of the property during the lifetime of the current owners. There are many other ways gifts can be made using life insurance or real estate.
Increasingly, people are looking at the double tax effect (estate tax and income tax) of passing on their tax-deferred retirement plans (IRAs, 401Ks, SEPs, etc.) to family and are opting to use these as the charitable gifts of choice.
Your consideration of one or more of these alternatives would provide a significant investment in the work of Saint Meinrad. Your partnership in this work will affect many lives into the future. A member of Saint Meinrad’s staff would be pleased to suggest an approach that best suits your specific personal needs, timing, and objectives.
Thank you for your commitment to and the essential role you play in the success of Saint Meinrad Archabbey and Seminary and School of Theology. Without your generous contributions of time, talent and treasure, Saint Meinrad’s vital missions of prayer and preparing leaders for the Church would not be possible. F

Endowment of Saint Meinrad
sustaining saint meinrad’s ministries for the church
Since the mid 1980s, Saint Meinrad, with the encouragement of the Board of Overseers and the assistance of its friends, has emphasized the significant role that an endowment plays in sustaining Saint Meinrad’s ministries for the Church. Since that time, alumni and friends have supported and grown the endowment, which has provided substantial, ongoing financial support to Saint Meinrad Archabbey and its Seminary and School of Theology.
In 1987, Saint Meinrad’s endowment stood at less than $8 million. Through God’s blessing and with the generous support of many friends, the endowment balance as of June 30, 2024, totaled $89.6 million. For this success, the monastic community, staff, and students offer thanks to God and you.
Saint Meinrad’s endowment is made up of many specific endowment funds that are created for different purposes, such as the monks’ health care, student financial assistance, spiritual formation, homiletics, and youth leadership and vocations. Moreover, specific endowment funds can be established to honor the memory of monks, parents, children, spouses or other loved ones. The chart on page 27 illustrates the breakdown of the Saint Meinrad endowment by the area or purpose benefited.
Contributing to or Establishing an Endowment Fund
It is quite simple to contribute to an endowment. It can be done with a gift during your lifetime or through provisions of your estate documents. Gifts of cash, securities or other assets can be used to create or add to an existing endowment. It takes only your generous action in the present to provide in perpetuity for those values you cherish.
Endowment Stewardship
Investment markets for the year ending June 30, 2024, produced an overall return of 15.1%.
During the past year, 11 new endowments were established by our generous friends and alumni. These new endowments will provide added funding for monastery repairs, the Archives and History Museum, young adult retreats, and for scholarship assistance for seminarians studying for the priesthood.
We are grateful for these, and all our endowments, which help support our life of prayer and work in perpetuity. Annualized investment returns for the past one-, three- and five-year periods are reflected on page 27.
The Endowment Advisory Board
The members of Saint Meinrad’s Endowment Advisory Board provide wise and generous counsel in administering a prudent course for managing our endowment. Much gratitude is due to the board’s external members – Bruce McCrea, partner, Legacy Financial Independent Advisors, Louisville, KY, Steve Mullins, retired president, ClearArc Capital Inc., Bradenton, FL, and Stephen Witting, senior commercial loan officer at Indiana Members Credit Union, Evansville, IN.
Internal members of the board include Rt. Rev. Kurt Stasiak, OSB, archabbot; Very Rev. Denis Robinson, OSB, president-rector; Lisa Castlebury, treasurer/ business manager; Duane Schaefer, vice president for development; and Brian Doyle, director of planned giving and foundation relations.
Your Role in Our Success
Your membership in The Einsiedeln Society is greatly appreciated. Please share your feelings about Saint Meinrad with friends and acquaintances. You are the best means of expanding the Saint Meinrad family. F
