Annual Collection for Sick & Retired Priests

At this time, we remember with gratitude the sick and retired priests of our Archdiocese.

For many years, they have served God’s people faithfully — celebrating Mass, baptising, marrying, comforting, preaching and walking with their parish communities. Some, even in retirement, continue to help in our parishes; others now live in nursing homes or are unable to minister because of long-term illness.

Through a dedicated parish envelope in these weeks, we have an opportunity to support them in their retirement, illness and later years. We give thanks for their years of priestly service and ask God’s blessing upon them.
