Support a lifetime of service
Women and men religious have spent their lives serving others in prayer, ministry, education and care for those in need—usually for little or no pay. Today, their religious communities do not have enough retirement savings. Please support them by giving to the Retirement Fund for Religious. Your donation makes a difference for nearly 25,000 senior men and women religious.
The Retirement Fund for Religious (RFR) Annual Appeal will begin December 7-8 and continue through January 2025. Watch your parish bulletin and electronic newsletter for collection dates and ways to give online.
