L to R: Sister Victoria Michelle, Sister Margo Elizabeth, Sister Suzanne Elizabeth, Sister LInda Clare, and Sister Mary Lynne at the Easter Vigil in the Convent chapel. EASTERTIDE GREETINGS FROM THE SISTERS
We Sisters are beginning to hold discussions on whether to reopen the Convent to guests. Our talks are tentative, and we are taking into account the compromised immune systems of some of our Sisters and staff as we consider. We hope to gradually reopen soon, and we will keep everyone informed of our timeline when we agree on a plan. We miss you all! THE GOOD SHEPHERD HOME IN CAMEROON

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 |
