CLERGY SUPPORT FUND

The Clergy Support Fund of the diocese provides care for priests in their old age and retirement, and in their time of ill health. A gift to this worthy fund will ensure a dignified retirement to our priests, after they have dedicated a lifetime of service to Christ, His Church and His people. In 2021 the Clergy Support Fund provided care to 71 priests at a cost of £1,25 million. With the number of priests over the age of 65 steadily increasing, so too will the financial obligation to the Archdiocese Please be generous
