a unique model of care for priests
In most dioceses, the healthcare benefits and retirement needs of priests are supported and handled internally as a responsibility of the bishop or archbishop. In the Archdiocese of Boston, Cardinal Seán O’Malley established and delegated the Clergy Trust as an independent entity, overseen by a majority lay board of trustees to ensure excellent quality of care, full transparency, and fiscal accountability.
This unique model allows for the Trust to offer our priests a team totally and completely dedicated to their care and support from ordination until they are called home to God.
healthier priests. stronger communities.
Our priests have dedicated their lives to working tirelessly and selflessly to bring the presence of Christ into our communities and making the world a better place. However, because they are so committed to serving others, it can be very easy for them to forget that they must take care of themselves, too. That is why the Clergy Trust Team is so dedicated to the mission of ensuring our priests receive the care and support they need to stay healthy.
