Bishop Vincent Long OFM Conv

A special thank you from Bishop Vincent Long

My Dear Friends

I am truly grateful for your compassion for our retired priests and clergy in ill‐health.

Our faithful priests have given their lives in service for our Catholic community. Even in their golden years, they continue to embody their priestly vocations, as good shepherds and servants of the Gospel.

Thanks to your generosity, they can enjoy a well‐deserved, dignified, and spiritually fulfilling retirement. Your compassionate support provides for our retired priests’ daily living needs, health care, and medical expenses; along with home comforts and essentials for living well.

Thank you for standing by our retired priests, and for making sure there is always someone to care for them, just as they have cared for us.

Thank you from Dr Mark Buhagiar

Our priests have given their lives in service to our Catholic faith community. When they step back and need to find their own place for retirement living, about a third don’t have the finances to support themselves.

Thank you for showing your gratitude and care for those who have cared for us, when they need us.

Because of your generous support, we can provide care for our priests in a personalised way, that suits each priest’s individual needs.

Thank you for your love, prayers, care, and support of our retired priests and clergy in ill‐health. Your kindness gives them a dignified and comfortable retirement.

Ellen Small and Mark Buhagiar, from the Clergy Health and Wellbeing team at our Clergy Support Foundation
