How can we care and provide for them?

A message from Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M., on the Collection for the Diocesan Retired, Elderly and Infirm Priests Fund

On the weekend of July 27-28, as we celebrate the feast of the grandparents of Jesus, I am also mindful of the 85 priests of the Diocese of Trenton who have “borne the heat of the day (Matthew 20:12)” in our parishes and institutions, serving and ministering to us and who are now retired. They are truly our “spiritual grandparents.” Many continue to offer Masses and share the Sacraments in our parishes. How can we thank them for the witness of their lives of faith? How can we help take care of and provide for them?

As Bishop, I invite all the clergy and faithful of the Diocese, once again, to show the generosity for which I have come to know you so well by contributing to the third annual collection for the retired, elderly and infirm priests of the Diocese. They, too, deserve our love and gratitude in their twilight years!

May God bless your kindness and shower his abundant graces upon all our beloved grandparents, “spiritual grandparents” and all the elderly of our Diocese.

The diocesan collection coincides with World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly.  To learn more about this annual observance, and to find a link to a message from Pope Francis, visit www.TrentonMonitor.com and click on NEWS>DIOCESE.
