As in the case with many pension funds in secular businesses today, the Archdiocese of New Orleans Priests’ Pension Program is underfunded. This is largely due to the growing number of retired priests, the skyrocketing cost of health care, and inflation. This collection is separate from the annual collection for the Retirement Fund for Religious, which supports religious orders and institutes across the United States. Please show your generosity next weekend, May 6/7. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE BUILDING FUND SECOND COLLECTION FOR MAY WILL BE THE WEEKEND OF MAY 13/14, NOT THE FIRST WEEKEND OF THE MONTH.
