RETIREMENT FUND
FOR RELIGIOUS
Aging religious need your help. In the
United States today, there are more
than 33,000 senior Catholic sisters,
brothers, and religious order priests.
These religious worked tirelessly in
Catholic schools, hospitals, and agencies, usually for little to no pay. As a
result, many religious communities
lack adequate savings for retirement
and eldercare. Your gift to today’s
collection for the Retirement Fund for
Religious helps provide medications,
nursing care, and more. Please be generous.
