Kilimanjaro: Our Lady’s Mountain is the story of a climb, a pilgrimage, and a mission — ascending Africa’s highest peak with the banner of the Immaculata, to bring visibility and aid to the St. Benedict House of Studies in Tanzania.

What began as an inspiration from a safari became the future of the Latin Mass.

Climb, Spread the Word, or Give — help secure the future of the Latin Mass throughout the world.

Climb

“It’s elevation is 20,000 feet. Most people are at that altitude when they’re flying in an airplane. This is no joke.” — Christopher Wendt

On August 1–17, 2026, pilgrims will once again ascend the Alternative Lemosho Route, offering every step for the Reign of Mary.

Movie

“This Mass is worth suffering for. It’s worth climbing mountains for. It’s worth dying for.” — Michael Matt

Our Lady’s Mountain captures the extraordinary journey of ten climbers — aged 26 to 78 — who took on Mt. Kilimanjaro not for glory, but for souls.

Give

“In Africa, there are lots of vocations. But we don’t have a House of Studies. We need to build.” — Fr. Antonius Maria

Your support will help raise the walls of the future St. Benedict House of Studies.
