Dear Friends of St. Joseph By the Sea:
May the peace of Christ be with you. For decades, St. Joseph by the Sea has been a place of peace, prayer, and profound spiritual renewal. Nestled along the Jersey shore, our retreat center has welcomed countless individuals seeking quiet, reflection, healing, and a deeper relationship with God.
Today, we find ourselves at an important crossroad - and we need your help.
In order to continue our mission and ensure that St. Joseph by the Sea remains a sanctuary for future generations, we are reaching out to our community of faithful friends and supporters. With your generosity, we hope to raise funds that will allow us to:
- Maintain and upgrade our retreat facilities
- Improve accessibility and comfort to all our guests
- Expand our programming to reach more individuals seeking spiritual growth
- Preserve the sacred and natural beauty of our grounds
Whether you have spent time here in retreat, joined us in prayer, or simply believe in the importance of spiritual spaces like ours, we invite you to become a partner in this mission.
Your gift, no matter the size, will make a real difference. “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” – 2 Corinthians 9:7.
Ways to give:
- By check: Payable to Saint Joseph by the Sea. A donation of $250 or more is tax deductible and the proper form will be sent to you upon receipt of your gift.
- In Honor or Memory: Consider making a donation in someone’s name.
We are deeply grateful for your continued prayers and support. As we work to strengthen this sacred place, please know that you and your intentions are remembered in our prayers.
May God bless you abundantly for your generosity.
