Archdiocese of Southwark: Clergy Support Fun

Over four years ago the Archdiocese of Southwark embarked on the Clergy Support Fund Campaign to raise much needed funds to support the on-going care and support of our sick and retired clergy. 

The campaign raised £3.7 million from 3,000 gifts and pledges, all in support of the elderly and infirm priests of Southwark who have dedicated their lives to the Church. It was a great display of generosity for which the Archdiocese of Southwark are incredibly grateful and would like to thank the parish priests, for having supported the campaign across the parishes and enabling people to learn about, and support, the welfare of our clergy in their retirement.

This Christmas Archdiocese of Southwark have sent supporters of this fund a Christmas newsletter, with a cover letter from Archbishop John Wilson, thanking them for their generosity of heart. Below is a copy of this newsletter. Click on any of the images for a printable pdf, or via this link.
