A red oak tree dedicated to Christina-Taylor Green is growing on the edge of a windswept field in Iowa, and the monks of New Melleray Abbey welcome anyone to come and contemplate not violence and evil but the diffusive nature of goodness.

Donations to the child-casket fund at the monastery can be sent to Trappist Caskets, New Melleray Abbey, 16632 Monastery Road, Peosta, IA 52068.
