YOUR IMPACT
Thanks to your generosity, retired
and infirm priests are able to enjoy
a joyful retirement and get the
support they need. Your support
makes a profound difference in
their lives by:
• PROVIDING a peaceful and
nurturing home environment.
• FOSTERING a sense of community
and companionship centered on
Christ.
• ENCOURAGING continued
spiritual growth and mentorship
for younger generations.
CARING FOR OUR
RETIRED
PRIESTS
• Retirement for our priests can often
bring challenges such as loneliness,
financial instability and a lack of
adequate access to healthcare.
• In the Archdiocese of Denver, there are
more than 50 retired and infirm priests
who rely on the generous support of
individuals like you.
• Even in retirement, priests continue
to serve our community by providing
spiritual direction, filling in for active
priests and praying for our sanctification.
• On average, a priest serves for 45 years.
PRIESTS MAY FACE
LONELINESS AND LACK
OF SUPPORT
A LIFETIME OF DEVOTION,
A FUTURE OF CARE
