SPECIAL FATHERS’ DAY COLLECTION

SPECIAL COLLECTION THIS WEEKEND
PRIESTS’ RETIREMENT FOUNDATION
FATHERS’ DAY APPEAL

Archbishop Hart writes: ‘Dear friends, I would be most grateful if you can contribute to the Fathers’ Day Appeal for our retired priests. Some donors have been supporting the Appeal since its inception in 1990 by the late Archbishop Little (R.I.P.). This shows how much the Catholic people of Melbourne value the huge contribution made by priests who are now retired, but have cared for them in former times.
Your generous donations have ensured a normal living for our priests who have served actively in the Archdiocese, but who are now elderly and frail. In fact, in the past twelve months, the Priests’ Retirement Foundation has assisted me in caring for about one hundred sick or retired priests.’
Our support for our retired priests and sick priests who have shown us deep spiritual care, is a true sign of gratitude.
Be sure that I will remember you all in my Masses and prayers’.
