St. Mary recently issued the following announcement.
Diocesan Priests Medical And Retirement Aid
September 25th and 26th
Please Remember What These Men Created, Inspired And Supported Over The Years.
Our priests were ordained to spend their lives concerned for your soul, not their retirement. This annual collection is a great testimony to the many parishioners like you who care about priests who once cared about you. For many years, parishes have relied on our retired priests to celebrate Mass and the sacraments. Our senior priests do this willingly as they faithfully serve our Church. The Retire Priests Medical and Retirement Aid Collection helps to defray the cost of nursing home care, prescription drugs, and healthcare. Please by your donation, show your appreciation and gratitude for their years of priestly ministry.
