Donations: Giving Back and Giving Forward
Giving Back and Giving Forward To Support Bon Secours
By Michael Oberman
– Heda Bejar
For forty years Bon Secours Spiritual Center and the Sisters of Bon Secours have freely shared their gifts of Healing, Compassion and Liberation to all who have "come up the hill" at Marriottsville. Whether seeking spiritual guidance, attending a conference or retreat simply enjoying the tranquility of 313 acres of God's beauty, thousands of people have experienced the Healing Hospitality of Bon Secours. Now, as major renovations, modernizations and improvements are being completed, we extend an invitation to all our readers who have benefited from their time here to re-invest in Bon Secours and help us to continue to grow the Sisters' investment and extend it to others in their name.
Donations will be used for:
| Grounds & Facilities Development | Program & Spiritual Guide Grants | |
| Thanksgiving Fund | Futures Fund | |

"Whether through donations or volunteering at Bon Secours, I invite you to become part of what Bon Secours Spiritual Center is about," he added. "It's more than a place – it's a way that people choose to be in the World. Whether you have been to Bon Secours or not, giving to Bon Secours is a testament to all the times and the ways in which we give or accept good help from others."
Giving can range from small donations to donations that defer the costs associated with building the new guest rooms and other facilities. Major donors also have the opportunity to be acknowledged through "naming rights" to certain rooms, including the new overnight guest rooms.
Planned Giving – a bequest through your will – can be as simple as adding The Sisters of Bon Secours or Bon Secours Spiritual Center as one of your beneficiaries.
If you have not visited Bon Secours, please come, experience the sacred grounds and the healing hospitality of this holy house. If you have been here before, please come again and see what has been and is being done to improve what was already a unique and very special place.
We welcome all opportunities to speak with you regarding your gift of support for the ministry of healing hospitality at Bon Secours Spiritual Center.
