As you know, this annual appeal asking he i for the support of the laity in caring for our priests is held on the third Sunday of May. This year the collection will be held on Sun­ day, May 17, in all churches of the Arch­ diocese. At the present time we have nine priests i who are incapacitated by old age or sickness. In the past year we have expended $25,130 for their care. We must anticipate that this number will increase as -the years go on. Unless we make adequate provision for them we are denying them the dignity of a mo­ dest security in their old age and illness. We can think of no other work of charity which would have a greater appeal to our people than the adequate care of those sick and retired priests who have given so many years oP service to the Church and to the Archdiocese. Our people are generally aware that our priests have little opportunity, be­ ■ H:' cause of their meager salary, to provide for illness or old age. In the past many of them have been dependent on the charity of fami­ ly, friends or private institutions.
