Sick and Retired Priests Fund

Our priests have dedicated their lives to serve us. They have baptised and confirmed our children, celebrated our marriages, consoled us when we lost a loved one and guided us in times of need. Now it’s our turn to be there for them.

As our priests age, many face health challenges and the need for specialised care. The Sick & Retired Priests’ Fund is crucial in ensuring that our priests receive the medical care, housing, and support they deserve in their later years. The Sick & Retired Priests’ Fund provided care to 72 retired priests last year, at a cost of £976,000. Many of our priests are called to serve long after their retirement – celebrating Mass, serving as chaplains, counselling people in need and supporting parish life. Others simply become very old, too frail or incapacitated and need full time care. 

The Diocese of Westminster depends greatly on the generosity of parishioners to contribute to support this vital cause each year. Please support our sick and retired priests with a gift today. Any gift, large or small will make a tangible difference to the lives of our retired priests. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
