Fund for Religious benefits four communities in Arkansas
Senior Catholic sisters, brothers and religious order priests spent years working in Catholic schools, hospitals and social service agencies, often for little, if any, pay. Their sacrifices now leave a profound gap in retirement savings. The collection for the Retirement Fund for Religious will be taken up Dec. 1-2 and supports more than 34,000 religious past age 70 in the United States.
Four religious communities benefited from $104,503.04 in grants from last year's collection. The grants were given to St. Scholastica Monastery, Fort Smith, $41,478.20; Holy Angels Convent, Jonesboro, $22,806.09; Carmelite Monastery, Little Rock, $6,857.82; and Subiaco Abbey, $33,360.93.
