Sick Clergy Collection

SICK CLERGY FUND (MENEVIA): The Second Collection next weekend (15/16 January) is for the SICK CLERGY FUND. The Diocese now has 12 priests and three housekeepers in retirement. The cost as per March 2010 was £105,000. In addition the Diocese has to pay £38,000p.a. into the pension fund for the existing priests. Last year’s collection has paid just £11, 740 towards the fund. Therefore, your generosity will be appreciated and commended.
