ANNUAL FATHERS DAY APPEAL FOR OUR RETIRED PRIESTS

During the last twelve months, thirteen retired priests entered eternal life and now there are 95 retired priests who need care, including two who served us here in Sunbury: Fathers Jim Feehan and Alan Mithen. To meet the cost of caring, active priests give voluntarily $1.2 million a year to support their retired and frail brothers in the priesthood. Today, the laity in all parishes are being asked to give $0.5 million to support their retired pastors.
This year, the following have retired from parish ministry: Fathers Barry Caldwell, Brian McMahon, Kevin Mogg, George O’Connor, Des Panton and Peter Rankin.
