Project Details
Priest Pension Plans
Project details: The Archdiocese of Seattle has a canonical responsibility to provide senior priests with pension benefits. The present pay-as-you-go model for the priest pension plan was sustainable when there was a large number of active priests paying into the plan, and a relatively small number receiving benefits.
Now, with relatively fewer priests in active ministry, compared to retired, the burdensome “pay as you go” model is no longer sustainable. Through a successful Called to Serve as Christ campaign, $40 million will be designated to priest pension.
Senior Priest Medical Plans
Project details: The Archdiocese of Seattle has a canonical responsibility to provide senior priests with medical benefits. The present pay-as-you-go model for medical plans was sustainable when there was a large number of active priests paying into the plan, and a relatively small number receiving benefits.
Now, with relatively fewer priests in active ministry, compared to retired, the burdensome “pay as you go” model is no longer sustainable. Through a successful Called to Serve as Christ campaign, $15 million will be designated to priest medical.
Support for our Women Religious
Project details: The campaign will raise funds for women religious, who have played a crucial role in the history of our Church’s mission in Western Washington. From schools to hospitals, from ministry to the poor to ministry in parishes, from retreat centers to social justice and advocacy, the positive impact and reach of their work cannot be overstated. Because they have answered the call to serve as Christ, and because for decades they served with almost no compensation, the campaign will recognize, acknowledge and thank them for their sacrifice and service.
Through a successful campaign, $24 million will be designated to women religious to aid the sisters’ pension and healthcare needs.
