a special collection at all Masses for Retired Religious. Please give to those who have given a lifetime. Like the women and men,thousands of elderly sisters, brothers, and religious order priests have devoted their lives to helping others. Across the U.S., generations of Catholics gratefully recall their ministry in Catholic schools, hospitals, parishes, and works of mercy. Most older religious served for little pay. Today, without enough retirement savings, many religious communities are struggling to care for senior members. Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious helps provide nursing care, medicine and other necessities. Please be generous.
