The Friends of St Clement's was created to help people support the future of the Monastery. St. Clement's has always had a special place in the lives of many because of its quiet isolation, its silent beauty and its closeness to the rhythms of nature.

The Monastery and Retreat Centre are in need of extensive upgrading. The overall plan includes an environmental approach to the care of the surrounding landscape and improving the water quality of the meandering creeks and streams.

By becoming a Friend of St. Clement's, you are helping to keep Galong as a heritge icon and as an environmental sanctuary. You can do this either by adopting an established tree and so providing for its care and ultimate replacement or by planting a new tree in the many groves to be established.
