- Care For Clergy
Care For Clergy
Author: Archdiocese of Brisbane
“For those who nurtured our faith”The Priests Foundation in the Brisbane Archdiocese was established in 2000 by Archbishop John Bathersby DD.
Acting in concert with the Clergy Support Office, the foundation provides the infrastructure and the financial means to meet with dignity the care needs of sick and retired priests.
Most of our Archdiocesan priests work long into their seventies, caring for the spiritual life and welfare of their people – often to the detriment of their own long-term welfare.
Even in retirement most priests, while their health allows, will continue to serve the community, in particular, by the celebration of weekend Masses in parishes and assisting as chaplains in aged care facilities.
The Priests Foundation covers needs such as:
- Convalescence care
- Nursing home and hostel care
- Transport assistance
- Health insurance
- Medical and dental expenses
- Motor Vehicle expenses
- Assistance with board and lodging expenses
Everyone can participate in Care for Clergy by helping fund the Priests Foundation.
There are three ways of donating to the care of our retired clergy:
- Annual parish collection – usually May/June each year
- Individual donations/gifts now or at a later time (All donations over $2.00 are tax deductible)
- Bequests by individuals or trusts to the Priests Foundation
Methods of payment:
- Post cheque/money order to Catholic Foundation, Catholic Centre, GPO Box 282 Brisbane
- Telephone – credit card only
