The Annual Retirement Fund for Religious Collection in support of the Catholic laity will take place in our Archdiocese during the weekend of December 11th & 12th.
This collection is in thanksgiving for the service and witness of our senior sisters, brothers, and religious order priests, and has been taking place for over 30 years.
Generosity to this collection has helped many religious communities address their retirement deficits, yet hundreds of others continue to face a troubling gap between the needs of aging members and the funds available to support them.
In these difficult times, Cardinal Tobin asks only for parishioners to give what they can, and most importantly, he asks all to join him in prayer for God’s protection over our nation’s elderly religious.
