CELEBRATING ANGELS ON EARTH: CERTIFIED NURSES AIDE WEEK
A Prayer for CNAs God of all Tenderness, with love and patience each day you keep the grass growing and the flowers blooming. Be with all nursing assistants as they tend to the daily needs of those entrusted to their care. When confronted with impatience, give them grace. When surrounded by too much to do, give them clarity. When doubtful of themselves and the gifts they bring, remind them of the power of love in small acts unseen. Amen. SISTER SUZANNE ELIZABETH

Rev. Alastair Redfern THANK YOU TO OUR DONORS!Thank you to all our donors who raised over $480,000 to replace our 114-year-old septic system! Next, we hope to replace the Convent stucco, St. Marguerite's roof, and restore our cemetery. Thank you for supporting our Capital Campaign to help us continue God's work in our sacred space. It's easy to help! To donate by check, make your check out to: St. John the Baptist Foundation and specify "Capital Campaign" 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 "Capital Campaign." 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. If you're interested in contributing to our Capital Campaign to help with these goals, or you'd like to learn about donating in other ways to the ministries of CSJB, CLICK HERE If you'd like to find out what's going on at other Episcopal Religious Communities, go to: www.caroa.net |
