From the Executive Director Dear Friends, I am pleased to share this supplement to the National Religious Retirement Office 2016 Annual Report. The following pages detail the far-reaching impact of donations to the Retirement Fund for Religious (RFR) collection. (Information regarding contributions to the collection and a fiscal review can be found in the annual report itself, which is available at retiredreligious.org.*) Religious communities combine RFR funding with their own income and savings to meet the current and future needs of senior members. They also utilize the educational and consultative resources the collection makes possible to stretch retirement dollars and enhance eldercare. This assistance has helped numerous congregations transform their retirement-funding deficits into manageable concerns. Yet, as the chart to the left demonstrates, a significant number still have profound needs. Your support allows us to continue the mission to assure all elderly religious a safe, modest retirement. What is perhaps hidden in these pages is how helping religious communities address their retirement funding challenges also helps them continue to focus on mission and ministry. In the end, religious communities have the same goal: to provide loving care for elder members while ensuring the works of these selfless women and men can be carried forth. For the countless ways your prayers and generosity advance this goal, we offer heartfelt thanks. With gratitude, Sister Stephanie Still, PBVM Executive Director * Hard copies of the annual report and/or supplement can be requested through our office.
