Septic systems are not usually a favorite topic of conversation, but ours is 112 years old! Since it serves the Convent, St. Marguerite's Retreat House, and two employee residences it has reached the point where it is in critical and immediate need of replacement.
Estimated cost of replacement is $246,840.02 so we are hoping our generous donors can help us to raise the remaining $135,000 needed for the job. |
It's easy to help!
To donate by check, make your check out to: St. John the Baptist Foundation and specify "Septic Project" on the ledger line of your check. Mail to: PO Box 240 Mendham, NJ .7945 To donate by PAYPAL, go to Paypal.me/stjohnfoundation and in the "purpose" section of your online donation type "Septic Project." Thank you for supporting our ministries of retreat and spiritual direction which are needed more than ever in today's world. |

JOIN US FOR PRAYER ON ZOOMFriday Feb. 12
10:30 AM - 11:00 AM Eastern time. ALL ARE WELCOME Please join us for something new, an Associate Prayer Gathering on the 2nd Friday of each month at 10:30am on Zoom. Come 15 minutes early for a check-in. Our 30-minute gathering will be structured as a short reflection from something from St. John Baptist or CSJB’s founder, Mother Harriet Monsell, then followed by an interactive set of intercessions. All are welcome, Associates, Oblates and friends of CSJB, as well as the Sisters, who have a standing invitation to join us, as their schedules permit. This program is put together by the CSJB Online Prayer Team and has grown from the success of the 1st and 3rd Friday online prayers. We envision that this slightly different format will be more interactive than our Friday prayers have been, and continue to strengthen the close ties we have been forming in community around prayer. Come and pray with us! A special thanks to Interweave for the use of their online platform. Please email Oblate Pat McKenzie for the Zoom info. at: mckenziepat@gmail.com Let’s join together to pray for ourselves, our neighbors, our church, and the world. |
