Parish Appeal/Pulpit Announcement

Elderly religious need your help. Thousands of senior sisters, brothers and religious order priests served for years in Catholic schools, hospitals and parishes—often for little to no pay. Now, many religious communities do not have enough retirement savings and struggle to provide for aging members. Your gift to today’s Retirement Fund for Religious collection helps provide medications, nursing care and more. Please be generous. https://donate.archatl.com/missions

Llamado a la parroquia/Anuncios desde el púlpito

Los religiosos ancianos necesitan su ayuda. Miles de hermanas, hermanos y sacerdotes mayores de órdenes religiosas sirvieron en escuelas, hospitales y parroquias con poco o ningún pago. Ahora, muchas comunidades religiosas no tienen suficientes ahorros para su jubilación y luchan para poder cuidar a sus miembros ancianos. Sus donativos hoy a la colecta para el Fondo para la Jubilación de Religiosos ayudan con las recetas médicas, los cuidados de enfermería y más. Sean generosos. https://donate.archatl.com/missions
