If you, a retired clergy member (who is or was canonically resident, or who was licensed to serve in the Diocese of Connecticut), or surviving spouse of the same, encounter a need for which a financial grant of up to $10,000 would make a difference, we invite you to complete this grant request. These grants are meant to assist you when no other option is available to you and the need is both immediate and crucial. It will be a grant and not a loan, and it is intended to get you over a particularly challenging financial problem. This form may be completed by you or by the Region Chaplain on your behalf or at your request.
