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
and the skyrocketing cost of health care. 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 on the
weekend of May 10/11.
