Perhaps a special woman or man religious shared with you love, faith and a belief in all that you could become. Maybe you knew more than one. Today those sisters, brothers, and religious order priests may be elderly, and their religious communities may struggle to meet retirement needs.

Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious supports necessities-such as medications and nursing care-and helps ensure the next generation of sisters, brothers and religious order priests can continue in ministry.

The parishes of the Diocese of Youngstown will be conducting an appeal at  each mass during the weekend of November 17-18, 2018. Please give generously.
