CMA Ministry Highlight: Retired Priests & Senior Clergy
“My advice to younger priestsĀ is to take things as they come.
Most of the things that I’ve been involved with as a priest, I never would have expected to be involved in. Some of them were things that I did not want to be involved in, but found myself doing it and learning to love it.”
– Fr. James Bramlage

More than 100 priests receive retirement benefits, and an additional 22 are senior clergy (priests who choose to postpone retirement and continue serving in active ministry beyond age 70). The CMA helps support these priests who have dedicated their lives to serving the people here in the Archdiocese.
