November Charitable Contributions
The Retirement Fund for Religious benefits women and men who, as vowed members of Catholic religious communities, have dedicated their lives to prayer and ministry. They have generally taken vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, assigning all their assets to community, ministering to others and caring for one another throughout their lives.
In the United States today more than 37,500 religious, mostly women, are past age 70; more than 4,900 need skilled nursing care. They gave their lives to education; they invested in people rather than pensions. They gave their heart and spirit to those in their care.
Did a sister, brother or religious order priest make a difference in your life? We can make a difference in theirs now. Please be generous with your financial help.
