PARISH CALENDAR Today, November 28 |
2004 RETIREMENT FUND Approximately 139 religious communities throughout the country
have the capacity to pay less than 20% of their projected health care and
retirement costs. Another 314 groups find themselves anywhere from 20 to 80%
funded. Yet all of these religious demonstrate great trust in enabling the
movement of the Spirit as they carry out their tasks with faithfulness and hope
- even as they age. They maintain energy for their ministries as they also
struggle to meet their responsibility for their older and ill members. Religious
are some of the prophets of today, urging us all to recognize the needs of those
with whom we live. While they face challenging circumstances, thousands of
religious women and men continue their many and diverse ministries so that
others may have a better quality of life. |
