a very poor family. Floor plan is on the board. Cross Catholic heads this

The Christmas Ornament Drive continues. It will fund our scholarship

program for the coming academic yr. We gave away $25,000 this yr.

Response is good so far this yr. We received a $10,000 gift recently!

No classes are held this weekend. Remember all parents and students

resume class after the Christmas break on Jan. 5th&6th. The materials in

English and Spanish are posted each week on the parish web site:

presentationdenver.org. We have a Confirmation project for the older

students. Keep working on your project!!!!

Families asking for infant baptism must make sure that godparents (padrinos) are married in the church and are confirmed. Parents must be registered in the parish.

Next weekends’ tithe will be for the

Retirement Fund for Religious. Here

are some interesting facts about this tithe:

• In 1988, Catholic bishops of the United

States launched the Retirement Fund for

Religious (RFR) to address the significant lack

of retirement funding for Catholic sisters,

brothers, and priests in religious orders.

• For most of their lives, elder religious

worked for little to no pay. There were no 401

(k) plans or pensions.

• Religious communities are financially

responsible for the support and care of all

members. Income, earnings, and expenses are

managed separately from the parish and

diocesan structures of the Catholic Church.

• The funding shortage is compounded by

rising healthcare costs and decreased income.

And, as more religious reach retirement age

and leave compensated ministry, income will

further decline while care needs increase.

• By 2028, religious past age 70 are projected

to outnumber religious under age 70 by more

than three to one.

• There are 31,000 religious past age 70 living

in the United States. In 2017, the average

annual cost for their care was almost $44,000

per person.

• Since 2009, the annual cost to support senior

women and men religious has exceeded $1

billion.

• In 2017, 68 percent of the religious

communities providing data to the National

Religious Retirement Office (NRRO) had a

median age of 70 or higher.

• The average annual Social Security benefit

for a religious is $6,453.45, while the average

U.S. beneficiary receives $16,849.80.

• Catholics in the United States have donated

more than $844 million to the RFR since the

first appeal

• Roughly 94 percent of donations to the RFR

aid elder religious, with the remainder used to

administer the funds and promote the appeal.

Lord Jesus Christ, Good Shepherd of your Church, In your mercy come to the aid of your

people, burdened by the weight of sin and tribulation. Please heal the victims and those

suffering. Purify your Church of sin and scandal. Make her radiant in the Spirit of

your holiness. Bring good out of the evil that has been done. Guide her and your

shepherds in the ways of renewal. Mary, our loving Mother, pray for us. Walk with us.

Hold our hand through this valley of darkness. Through all this, lead us closer to the

Father through your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen

human life proceeds from the moment of conception."

la concepción."
