Religious thanks
New Orleans
    In the name of the sisters, brothers and religious order priests of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, I express sincere gratitude to all of you for your generosity to the December 2012 Retirement Fund for Religious collection. Because of your goodness, I was able to send the National Religious Retirement Office (NRRO) a check for $243,408.63. This donation, added to donations from dioceses across the country, will be distributed to religious communities to assist in caring for our retired and infirm members.
    The sisters, brothers and religious order priests of our archdiocese, young and old, are grateful for your support. Be assured that you are remembered in our prayers and good works. May God bless you and all those you love with peace, love and joy.
SR. SYLVIA THIBODEAUX, S.S.F.
