This fundraiser is to help the Franciscan Friars at St. John’s the Baptist Friary update their friary home, which was built in 1960. However, things are falling apart and in need of repairs. It is in need of a new laundry room upstairs, as well as a new kitchen that would be located upstairs. They also need an elevator and private bathrooms. The friars are ageing and these updates in the friary would help them continue to serve the people of God. Any kind of assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Level breakdown of donation gifts:
$1,000: St. Francis

$150: St. John the Baptist
