Eighteen more priests are set to retire in the next
five years, with 49 retired as of July 2025.
Retired Priests & Prophet Elijah House
After a lifetime of faithful service, our retired priests
deserve care, dignity, and peace of mind. Thanks to the
generosity of the faithful, the Archdiocese supports
them through the Priest Pension Fund and the Priest
Special Needs and Long-term Care Fund, which are newly
established endowment resources that provide for their
housing, medical needs, and personal care as they age.
While we are grateful to our donors for their generosity to
the annual Retired and Infirm Priests Appeal – which is not
an endowment – our desire is to provide greater stability
in the generations to come through these new funds.
A centerpiece of this care is Prophet Elijah House, a
dedicated residence that offers a beautiful, prayerful
environment and community living for retired priests.
Ongoing support helps make this residence more
affordable, allowing us to honor our priests with the
comfort and community they deserve in retirement, at a
lower cost than they would have to pay elsewhere.
Also, announced in 2025, Mullen Residences at the
Highlands is expected to provide an additional Catholic
retirement experience for clergy and laity as early as 2029.
