Thank you for your interest in supporting Manresa Jesuit Retreat House. We are grateful for the generosity of the thousands of individuals who’ve offered their time, talent and resources to support our ministry for over 90 years. Manresa was established by lay people, and has been funded and supported almost entirely by lay people over the nine decades of its ministry.

There are several ways to give gifts to Manresa. You may choose to financially support our on-going operations, give a gift to support our capital needs for buildings and grounds or donate to our endowment to help maintain Manresa’s present and future financial health. If, on the other hand, you wish to make a general donation, Manresa will use your gift as needed at the time it is received.

While outright gifts are immediately helpful to Manresa, donors can make contributions in other ways as well. Some of these planned giving opportunities offer substantial tax, estate planning and other financial benefits. As a result, donors can enhance financial security for themselves and their families, while making a substantial commitment to strengthen the future of Manresa. For more information about Planned Giving opportunities, please contact Steve Raymond, Associate Director, at 248.644.4933 Ext. 111.

Charitable Gift Annuity

A charitable gift annuity is a way to make a gift to Manresa, and receive
an income for yourself or others in return. It is a binding contract under which a charity,
in return for a transfer of cash or other assets, agrees to pay a fixed sum of money for a period
measured by one or two lives.

The McGrail Fund was established in 2002 to support the expanding Mission of Manresa. It is named in memory of Fr. John McGrail, SJ, a former Executive Director. Manresa’s financial needs were growing because we offered retreats to all regardless of ability to pay. Since many could not pay, Manresa needed to find other resources, and the Fund is one of those resources. It is generally used as an endowment to maintain the financial stability of Manresa, but with explicit Board approval the funds can also be used for capital improvements and operational support.

A Capital Fund was established to underwrite necessary major repairs and improvements to the buildings and grounds. Improvements include renovating the Stations of the Cross, adding a 15^th Station, i.e. the Resurrection of Jesus, and the addition of a prayer labyrinth. Some capital projects have been funded by individuals, others have been a community effort. If you wish to contribute to a specific project, please contact Steve Raymond, Associate Director at Phone (248) 644-4933 Ext. 111.

You may contribute to the Capital Fund by purchasing a brick or plaque in Manresa’s Jesuit Garden.
