Our Lady of Guadalupe Trappist Abbey premieres official website. All the texts thus published are narrative or descriptive, with emphasis on biography and daily life. Two of Guadalupe's senior monks have worked on this triple heritage for many years, and have often been called upon for translation work, book reviews or monographic essays. The basic work, from initial research to mailing of copies, is done in time left over from the two monks' multiple monastic duties, but generous friends help with the proof-reading and the collating of pages. Some of the publications sell well and soon pay for themselves.
Many readers add an offering to their payment.
The Abbey as a whole pays all the overhead costs. A devotee of Our Lady of Guadalupe pays for occasional research trips to distant libraries and for reproductions of rare texts. Running expenses are largely met with credit given to the Translation budget for domestic printing jobs done on its equipment. Their Notes are based on comparisons within the computerized texts and standard concordances, rather than on acquaintance with secondary literature. The basic work is done in PCWrite, and the typesetting in Word Perfect for Windows.
