I would like to share the following letter from the Bishop: “Dear Friends in Christ, Soon, our parishes will be conducting the appeal for the Retirement Fund for Religious, an annual collec-tion that benefits more than 32,000 elderly Catholic sis-ters, brothers, and religious order priests. Our senior religious are a treasure. Their dedica-tion and hard work laid the foundation for Catholic schools, hospitals, and numerous social service organiza-tions. Many continue in volunteer ministry today. Their ongoing prayer and witness enrich our faith in countless ways. I am grateful for the service of religious, past and present. I hope you, too, recall a sister or brother who made a positive difference in your life. Most elder religious worked for years for small stipends, leaving a substantial gap in retirement savings. Rising health-care costs and decreased income com-pound the challenge to meet such day-to-day needs as medications and nursing assistance. The Retirement Fund for Religious offers financial support that helps reli-gious communities provide loving care for older members while ensuring younger ones can continue the good works of their elders. I understand you are asked to support many wor-thy causes. I invite you only to give what you can. Most importantly, please pray for God’s continued blessing on all our women and men religious. Rest assured they are praying for you! Sincerely yours in Christ, Most Reverend David J. Walkowiak Bishop of Grand Rapids” (Checks can be made out to the parish and donation en-velopes returned in next weekend’s collection or mailed to the Parish Office.) Friday is a Holy Day of Obligation, our nation’s patronal feast day, The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mass times are in the sched-ule to the left.
