The most surprisingly enriching ministry for us has been our Zoom prayers. Certainly, we Sisters all realize that our primary service to the world is to pray - but we had no idea that praying on Zoom would become a lifeline for so many.
We also spend a great deal of our time calling the elderly, the sick and those who live alone to make sure they are safe, and to offer whatever help we can provide to them – even dropping off grocery donations on doorsteps when they are needed.
Sister Margo Elizabeth continues her work on the book about Pony, and she is considering creating a Pony coloring book as well. She is looking forward to the 2021 Celtic Journeys trips to Lindisfarne (Feb. 19-27, 2021), Ireland (May 20-31, 2021), and Cornwall and Southwest England (Sept. 7-17, 2021). Please visit www.celticjourneys.org for more info.

We are hoping to raise $380,000 to replace the 112-year-old roof at St. Marguerite's. Thanks to generous donors, we have already raised over $82,000.
Another item on our wish list is the replacement of the showers at St. Marguerite's. We hope to raise $30,000 for this project. We have raised $1,390 towards our goal of $40,000 to replace the Convent elevator. Thank you to all who have helped us. The State of New Jersey recently stopped giving grants for repairs to religious structures, so this has taken away half our funding for repairs and restorations. The COVID crisis has also negatively impacted our funding for these projects.

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 has now gone up to $365,873 due to supply shortages, and so far we have raised $142,461
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 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.
The State of New Jersey recently stopped giving grants for repairs to religious structures, so this has taken away half our funding for repairs and restorations. The COVID crisis has also negatively impacted our funding for these projects.
