Monthly Grant


December Tithe: Retirement Fund for Religious


      DID YOU KNOW?

  • Religious receive approximately 1/3 the Social Security benefit of the average U.S. beneficiary. And more than 32,000 women religious and more than 5,200 men religious are past age 70, and their total costs of living exceeds $925 million annually.
  • The average Catholic family spends more than $12 each year on cookies, more than $21 on potato chips, more than $29 on take-out care, and just a little more than $1 per adult on the Retirement Fund for Religious.
  • Less than 6% of donations are used for administration and promotional costs.
Choose to make a difference in the lives of the retired religious.  Increase your December tithing by an average cost of a year’s supply of cookies or chips. Answer the call!
