GIVE THANKS Over the years, they were there when you were married,
they baptized your children and they offered prayer and
comfort when your loved ones died. Now, they need your
help.
The retirement fund that covers the priest of the Diocese
of Saginaw is in need of your financial support.
Currently, there are 50 retired priests and many of these
men continue to provide regular ministry in our parishes.
Much of their retirement fund is supported directly by
your generosity. Please consider making a donation to
the Saginaw’s Priest Retirement Plan. This can be a one-
time offering or perhaps you would consider including
this as art of your estate planning. Donations can be sent
to:

Father of goodness and love, hear our prayers for the sick members of our community and for all who are in need. Amid mental and physical suffering may they find consolation in your healing presence. Show your mercy as
you close wounds, cure illness, make broken bodies whole and free down-cast spirits. May these special people find lasting health and deliverance, and so join us in thanking you for all your gifts. We ask this through the
Lord Jesus who healed those who trusted and believed. Amen.

Retirement Fund for Religious Aging religious need your help. Senior Catholic sisters,
brothers, and religious order priests have offered their lives in
service to others—educating the young, comforting the sick,
seeking justice for the oppressed. Today, many are frail,
elderly, and in need of assistance. Your gift to the Retirement
Fund for Religious helps to furnish medications, nursing care,
and other necessities. Please give generously to our collection
next weekend.
