Retirement Fund for Religious

Of 531 communities providing data to the National Religious Retirement Office (NRRO), only 27 are adequately funded for retirement. Historically, Catholic sisters, brothers, and religious order priests—known collectively as women and men religious—received very little pay. Any surplus funds were reinvested in ministry and the education of younger members. As a result, hundreds of US religious communities lack adequate retirement savings.
