Septic systems are not usually a favorite topic of conversation, but ours is 114 years old!
Since our antique system serves the Convent, St. Marguerite's, and two employee residences it has reached the point where it is in critical and immediate need of replacement. Estimated cost of replacement has now gone up to $481,598 due to supply shortages, and so far we have raised $430,811 so we're almost there! We are hoping our generous donors can help us to raise the remaining funds needed for the job. |
It's easy to help!
To donate by check, make your check payable to: St. John the Baptist Foundation and specify "Septic Project" on the ledger line of your check. Mail to: PO Box 240 Mendham, NJ 07945. 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. |
