For most of the priests in our Archdiocese, the idea of stepping away from the communities and families they have looked after for years seems unfathomable. They continue their ministry well into their later years, and only slow down once illness forces them to. The transition from active work to retirement is a different experience for each of our priests – some welcoming the slower pace; others finding the change in their day-to-day ministry confronting after so many years of being immersed in parish life.
With your gift, you will help ensure these men embark on their retirement with the care and respect befitting their lifelong service.
Because of you, they can enter this well-deserved journey of rest and reflection knowing they have a congregation of the faithful carrying them in prayer and service.
With your gift, you provide essential accommodation and medical care to more than 70 retired priests in our Archdiocese.
Thank you for your generous gift

A blessing for retired priest, Father Jim Browne
"I cannot forget the privilege Rev Jim Browne conveyed on me. I say he was the final path that led me to my decision of Confirmation. He says he is only the instrument. Having been to where Saint Paul was imprisoned, seen inside Saint Mark's Cathedral and in the catacombs of the Vatican, I maintain it was Rev Browne who led me to the finish line. I bless him for his kindness, his voice and the generosity he gives to all."
