Every dollar makes a difference in covering our expenses,” says a Trappist abbot. Hundreds of US religious communities struggle to provide for aging members because most senior Catholic sisters, brothers and religious order priests served for little pay. Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious helps these communities bridge the gap, offering support for medications, nursing care and other necessities. Please be generous. You may donate at Masses this December 12-13 or by mail at Office for Consecrated Life, Attn. Maria Reinagel, 100 E. 8th Street, Cincinnati, 45202. Please make your check payable to Archdiocese of Cincinnati/ RFR. You can also donate online here: www.Catholicaoc.org/rfr.
