40 Hours of Giving
During this year’s 40 Hours of Giving, we wanted to reflect on the gift of Peace that the Mountain represents for so many. It’s literally in our name – Irenaeus means “Peacemaker.” From the thousands who have visited over the years, of varying ages and beliefs, the common thread we hear is that the Mountain is a place of peace.
We ask you to join us on Sept. 14 and 15 to support this gift of Holy Peace that so many experience while visiting, and through our On the Road, In the Home and virtual gatherings. We will share videos that capture moments of peace at the Mountain, and stories of how people are impacted by these moments of peace.
Over our first two 40 Hours appeals, we have raised more than $180,000. These gifts directly contribute to our operating funds, allowing us to continue offering this peaceful retreat to all who wish to visit. We hope you’ll once again join us in this important endeavor.
Thank you for all you do to keep the Mountain ministry alive and well.

The Roots of 40 Hours of Giving
40 Hours of Giving began in September 2024, a few weeks after Fr. Dan Riley passed away. However, planning began in the spring and Fr. Dan helped sow some of the seeds of the effort with his ideas and energy. We invite you watch previous videos from a wonderful array of voices that tell our story.
