Collection for Religious Retirement Fund is Dec. 7-8

Religious Retirement – December 8
 
The Retirement Fund for Religious (RFR) provides funding to any religious institute in the U.S. listed in the religious institute section of the OCD. It distributes direct care, planning and implementation assistance from the fund to religious institutes based on a formula and criteria approved by the conferences of major superiors and bishops.
 
Thousands of senior Catholic sisters, brothers, and religious order priests spent years working in Catholic schools, hospitals, and agencies—often for little or no pay. Now, their religious communities do not have enough savings for retirement and eldercare. Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious helps provide medications, nursing care, and more. Almost 94 percent of donations aid senior religious. Please give generously.
