From Vision to Reality

Proceeds from the annual Retirement Fund for Religious collection help religious communities implement long-range retirement strategies.

Donations to the annual Retirement Fund for Religious collection help religious communities provide for the day-to-day needs of senior members. A portion of the proceeds also underwrites targeted programming that promotes long-term retirement planning. For example, Planning and Implementation Assistance combines financial and consultative support to help participating congregations identify their greatest retirement funding challenges and develop strategies to address them.

Implementing these strategies requires not only careful planning but sustained momentum to see the project through to a successful conclusion. The Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Hamden, Connecticut, demonstrate just this type of momentum. Read how in our fall newsletter (pdf).
