Advent, God is With Us Already...and Not Yet
|

Retirement Fund for Religious Second Collection
|
On
Sunday, December 2, we will have a second collection for the Retirement Fund for Religious. Many senior sisters, brothers, and religious order priests served for years for little to no pay. Today, religious communities often do not have enough savings to meet retirement needs. Your support helps provide medications, nursing care, and more. Please give to those who have given a lifetime.
