Is Shantivanam supported by the Catholic Church?
Shantivanam is a ministry of the Catholic Archdiocese of Kansas City, Kansas, and receives a stipend from the Archdiocese. However, Shantivanam is responsible for raising the majority of its operating expenses. Financial support comes from an Annual Appeal that is included in the April issue of our bimonthly newsletter, The Forest Letter, and from donations made by guests.
