Priests' Retirement Fund Luncheon


On October 21, 2011, the First Annual Saint John Vianney Priests’ Retirement Fund Luncheon will take place at the Patron’s Hall at Saint Mary’s Cathedral. Many people and organizations are already rallying around this auspicious event.

This is an opportunity for the parishioners of St. Brendan to participate. You are welcome to purchase seats at the luncheon or to pass along the invitation to parishioners who you know would like to attend or support our retired priests.

Presently there are about 90 priests who are retired throughout the Archdiocese. The need is great and will increase as time goes on. Along with the Priests’ Retirement Fund special collection, the Saint John Vianney Luncheon is a way to make certain the Priests’ Retirement Fund is adequately funded now and most importantly in the future.
