Dear Webmaster,

I am a Benedictine monk of St Michael’s Abbey in Farnborough, England (www.farnboroughabbey.org), a Benedictine monastery and also the home of the National Shrine of St Joseph for England and Wales.  

Given that you have website dedicated to Catholic Shrines, I was wondering whether you would be willing to place a link to the shrine on your site?  The web address of the shrine itself is:

www.stjosephshrine.org.uk

You may also be interested to know that our monastery also holds the largest relic of the first English Martyr, St Alban (died in middle of 3rd century) - a thigh bone, which is remarkable considering that the majority of the bones of St Alban were destroyed in the Protestant Reformation at the city of St Albans.

I hope you will help increase awareness of the National Shrine of St Joseph and link to us on your website and I thank you in anticipation of any help you may be able to give.

Gratefully in Jesus, Mary and Joseph,

Br Maximilian
