Sick & Retired Clergy Fund

Providing help and support for our clergy in their later years

The life of a priest is one of joyous and unselfish sacrifice. As the shepherd of his flock he is there to spiritually protect and minister to those who have been entrusted to him. Our priests Baptise and Confirm us when we are young; they are there as witnesses to marriage, and a consolation and God’s loving hand when we are passing through times of trouble or bereavement. Their lifelong example of holiness, Christian love and charity serves a model and guide for us all of how to lead a blessed and meaningful life.

Our priests are always there for us when we need them, but who is there for them when they are sick, in need of support, or in their final years? By making a donation to our Sick and Retired Clergy Fund you can help us to provide, love, care and invaluable support to our clergy when they need it most.
