Please consider making a gift to the collection this year to show your appreciation for the priests who have made a difference in your life. As the executive director of Regina Cleri, a community for our diocesan senior priests, the past year has been somewhat of a rollercoaster. As anyone who serves the elderly knows, this pandemic has been unrelenting and fearsome. I have been blessed to witness our staff and our resident priests face the overwhelming obstacles it has presented with great faith and steady courage. And I must say, I am not surprised. The priests who live at Regina Cleri are so special; they are men of God who have served others their whole lives. In any year, but especially a year like 2020, they are an inspiration.
