Trusted Resources for Moments that Matter
A LETTER FROM THE ARCHABBOT
All CareNotes proceeds support the prayer and work of the monks of Saint Meinrad Archabbey.
Dear Friend of Saint Meinrad,
Peace and blessings to you from Saint Meinrad Archabbey.
We are grateful for the opportunity to share the newest edition of the CareNotes Buyer’s Guide with you.
For generations, the monks of Saint Meinrad have sought to extend Christ’s compassion to those in need. CareNotes remains an important expression of that Benedictine mission—offering comfort, guidance, and hope to people facing life’s challenges through thoughtful, faith-inspired resources.
This year, we are pleased to expand our collection with new SpanishNotes titles that address anxiety, difficult emotions, grief, worry, and life’s challenges, as well as new TeenNotes resources that help young people navigate stress, gossip, and self-esteem. These additions reflect our ongoing commitment to meet people where they are and provide encouragement for the concerns they face each day.
Whether you are a chaplain, a caregiver, a bereavement coordinator, or someone who wants to offer support and understanding, CareNotes is here to help. When you choose CareNotes, you place meaningful resources in the hands of those who need them, and you join us in a tradition of care that has touched lives for more than 170 years.
On behalf of the monastic community, thank you for partnering with us in this ministry of hospitality, healing, and hope.
As always, we invite you to take one—and take heart. Give one—and give hope.
Sincerely in Christ,
Archabbot Kurt Stasiak, OSB

Navigating Your Road to Healing with 5 Stages of Grief Series
When you lose a loved one, your life changes in profound and lasting ways. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross offered a helpful framework for understanding grief through the stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Yet grief does not unfold in a straight line. We often revisit these emotions many times as we learn to live with loss, returning to them whenever our hearts need space to heal. This five-part CareNotes series on the stages of grief, written by Karen Katafiasz, offers gentle landmarks along that journey, providing comfort and reflection when they are needed most.
