Sick & Retired Clergy Fund – Second Collection at all Masses this weekend

By Webmaster • 02 Nov, 2024

The Archdiocese of Cardiff is blessed by retired clergy who remain active in or around the parishes in which they have retired. They continue to enrich the lives of our communities by celebrating Mass, counselling people in need and supporting us all through their prayers. The Sick and Retired Clergy Fund ensures that our priests, many of whom have given 40 – 50 years’ service, enjoy a dignified retirement. It supports independent living, providing them with a suitable home and essential living costs. They rely on what the fund provides, having devoted their lives to furthering the mission of the Church. This year’s second collection for the fund will take place at all Masses this weekend. You can also use the Electronic Donation Station at St. Teilo’s to make a donation to the Sick and Retired Clergy Fund.
