Many of us recall a special Catholic sister or brother who had a profound influence on our lives. Never counting the cost, these dedicated individuals shared with us faith, love, and a belief in all that we could become - choosing to invest in our futures rather than their own. Today, that sister or brother may be elderly and need care. Traditionally, Catholic sisters, brothers, and religious order priests worked for little and even no pay at times. As a result, many religious communities now lack adequate retirement savings. Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious provides vital support for assisted-living and home-health services, nursing care, and more. Our parish will have a collection during Masses on Dec 12th-13th. You can also donate online at shareinthecare.org. Thanks for your generosity.
