The onlty collection at the Christmas Masses will be for the Clergy Welfare Fund. This fund provides retirement and health care benefits to retired and infirm priests around our diocese. Our priests spend every day of their adult lives as humble and devoted servants, doing God's work and serving us until age or infirmity calls them to retirement. Your contributions to the Clergy Welfare Fund make our priests' retirement possible. Please share with the them the generosity that they continue to share with us. The amount collected during the Fourth Sunday of Advent Masses goes to our parish.
