As part of the diocesan observance of World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly, parishioners of the Diocese of Trenton are encouraged to support the fourth annual collection for the Retired, Elderly and Infirm Priests Fund, which will be taken up in parishes during Masses July 26-27. The collection was begun in 2022 by Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M.

The Bishop stated, “I invite all the clergy and faithful of the Diocese, once again, to show the generosity for which I have come to know you so well by contributing to the fourth annual collection for the priests who truly are our spiritual grandfathers. They, too, deserve our love and gratitude in their twilight years!”
