Outreach Retirement Fund for Religious The appeal for the Retirement Fund for Religious asks us to recall those women and men religious whose ministry has nourished our own faith, served our church, and strengthened our nation. Today, move than 37,000 women and men religious are past age 70. Their communities face critical economic challenges as the costs of health care escalate and as the need for handicapped-accessible housing increases. Some struggle to overcome the losses suffered in hurricanes along the Gulf Coast. Now in its 19th year, the Retirement Fund for Religious once again asks for your help which you have given so generously in the past; last year s collection in our Archdiocese was over $500,000; and our total gifts for the 18 years of this appeal are in excess of $9 million! The weekend of December 9-10 a special collection will be taken up at all Masses to respond to this need. As in the past, almost 95% of your gifts will be distributed directly to those groups most in need at this time. They count on your generosity and offer you their prayerful thanks. |
