“Do This in Memory of Me”

Christ spoke these words at the first Mass ever, and priests have repeated them for millennia as they have celebrated the Eucharist in His name.

Priests in our Archdiocese devote their lives to God’s people by bringing Christ to them through Mass and His Sacraments. Even in retirement, they serve the faithful by celebrating Mass, hearing confessions, anointing the sick, and praying for the world.

However, with the spread of COVID-19, our retired priests face the same issues as others in their age group. Thankfully, the Archdiocese has committed to caring for our priests as they advance in age.

We, the faithful, are also called to assist in meeting their health and material needs. Please prayerfully consider making a contribution in support of our retired priests, giving back to them in thanksgiving for all they have done for us.
