The Shepherds’ Trust cares for those who always cared for us- our retired priests who have faithfully served parish communities throughout the Archdiocese of Toronto for many years. The Shepherd’s Trust recognizes their faithfulness, their many years of service to us, and the strong ties we have to them by ensuring that funds collected in parishes served by priests be given as a contribution towards the retirement of our priests.

The Shepherds’ Trust Collection takes place the weekend of November 14-15. Thank you for your generous support!
