Segunda Colecta Especial
El Próximo Fin de Semana
Fondo para la Jubilación
de Religiosos

necesitados de ayuda. Hermanas, hermanos y
sacerdotes católicos de órdenes religiosas que ahora son
ancianos ofrecieron su vida en servicio a los demás,—
educando la juventud, consolando a los enfermos,
buscando justicia para los oprimidos. Hoy, muchos son
frágiles, ancianos y necesitan atención médica.
Su donativo al Fondo para la Jubilación de Religiosos
apoya el cuidado básico como medicamentos y
cuidados de enfermería. Sea generoso en su donativo a
la segunda colecta del próximo fin de semana.
