Even in retirement, our Archdiocese’s priests continue to devote their lives to God and His people wherever they can, celebrating Mass and the Sacraments, and making themselves available to those in need. A priest’s commitment to serving Christ’s Church, breathed into existence at his discernment and fortified by his life-long ministry, perseveres long after his last official assignment ends. Appeal gifts help cover the costs of retired priests’ assisted-living communities, medical expenses, eyeglasses, hearing aids, and dental care, lessening their financial burdens during their advancing years.
