The Collection for Retired Diocesan Priests assists  in caring for our current and future retired priests and offers a way to show gratitude for their many years of dedication and faithful service. Bishop Burbidge encourages all in the Diocese prayerfully to consider a gift to this collection and, in so doing, recognize the profound impact our priests have had on the mission of the Catholic Church in the Diocese of Arlington. Their priestly service and witness to holiness has been a benefit for all. This collection bears witness to their dignity in retirement and our appreciation. Thank you for your support and generosity.
