Diocese supports retirement fund for religious

In 2013, the Diocese of Corpus Christi donated $63,66.32 to support the appeal for the Retirement Fund for Religious. Over the last 26 years the diocese has raised more than $1.7 million for the fund.

In the United States today, more than 34,000 Catholic sisters, brothers and religious order priests past age 70 benefit from the Retirement Fund for Religious. Donations to the RFR furnish funding for financial, educational and consultative support that helps religious communities care for senior members and plan for long-term retirement needs.

“Your personal support for the Retirement Fund for Religious and that of our diocesan priests, staff and local RFR coordinator are essential to the fund’s continued success,” said Sister Janice Brader, Executive Director of the retirement fund in a letter to Bishop Michael Mulvey.
