Retirement Fund for Religious - March 11/12
Across the United States, hundreds of religious communities lack financial resources sufficient to meet the retirement and health-care needs of aging members.
The Retirement Fund for Religious (RFR) does not accept online donations, but you can make a secure, electronic contribution at the Diocese of Buffalo’s Share in the Care site. All donations made through the Diocese of Buffalo are forwarded to the National Religious Retirement Office.
