The Shepherds’ Trust: 25 Years of Caring for Retired Priests

The Shepherds’ Trust celebrates a milestone anniversary this fall. For 25 years, The Shepherds’ Trust has been caring for the retired priests who have always cared for us. The retired priests of the Archdiocese of Toronto are so grateful for the support they receive from The Shepherds’ Trust.

Most of us know that The Shepherds’ Trust provides retired priests with the income support they need to live modest but dignified lives. However, The Shepherds’ Trust is much more than a monthly cheque in the mail.

For a quarter century, The Shepherds’ Trust has stood by our retired priests. Whether it is in helping a retired priest find an apartment or access a PSW or not feel isolated, The Shepherds’ Trust has always been there to help our clergy in their senior years.

To mark this important anniversary, we have created a number of materials to demonstrate the life changing work done by The Shepherds’ Trust, including

• A video that shows the difference The Shepherds’ Trust makes in the lives of our retired priests
  
  
• A profile of Marisa Rogucki, who worked tirelessly for 16 years to ensure our retired priests never felt alone 
  
  
• A look back on why The Shepherds’ Trust was created 25 years ago – and why it is still needed today  
  
  
• A video message from Cardinal Thomas Collins, Archbishop of Toronto

This weekend (November 13/14, 2021) is the annual special collection for The Shepherds’ Trust. Over the years, the laity have generously offered their time, talent and treasure to support our retired priests. We thank you for everything you have done for our retired priests over the years.
