Catholic Communications, Sydney Archdiocese REPORT
23 Mar 2012
A number of retired priests or priests considering retirement within the Archdiocese of Sydney had the opportunity to "network" today when they were hosted by the Priests' Retirement Foundation and Cardinal George Pell.
The Foundation is committed to the care of priests in their retirement and today, between swapping yarns and catching up with old friends, they had the opportunity to hear and ask about everything from property matters to health programs. It was also important for the Foundation to gauge feedback including ways support could perhaps be enhanced.
There are about seventy retired priests in the Archdiocese. With a number more due to retire in the near future the Foundation wants everyone of them to feel assured they will do so with dignity.
