Churches have long been a focal point in communities, both for worship and for the social needs of the community.  Those involved with the process of preserving St. John's Oratory continue to believe that this mission of St. Benedict's Abbey, classified as an oratory since the 1990s, is of historic and religious importance to Doniphan and the surrounding area.

All repairs have been paid for through donations.  The Friends of St. John's Oratory is grateful for the generous support of present and past members of the Doniphan community and all interested parties who believe as we that this is a worthwhile project.
