Donations to the 2013 Retirement Fund for Religious collection amounted to nearly $28.3 million nationwide, with $63,668.32 coming from the Diocese of Corpus Christi. This is the highest total since 2008.
“Once again, we are overwhelmed by the generosity of God's people and inspired to persevere in our mission to help religious communities address their retirement-funding shortages,” said Sister Janice Bader, CPPS, executive director of the Religious Fund for Religious.
Some 35,000 senior sisters, brothers and religious order priests benefit from this fund.
