We will participate in the Retired Priests collection for our priests who have retired after years of faithful and dedicated service to the Diocese. With costs continually escalating, the monthly retirement benefit for our 17 retirees must be adjusted periodically as well. Your generosity is appreciated in helping to assure that the needs of our retired priests will continue to be met. Please keep them in your prayers.
