Pension provision
Support after retirement, including supplementing pension provision.
Areas of support
Support for real-life needs
Seven areas of financial and practical assistance for the clergy of the Diocese, their wives and their children.
Our main areas of support
The Fund’s areas of assistance address the everyday and exceptional needs of clergy and their families: pensions, salary support and insurance, emergency assistance, care for children and widowed clergy wives, and continuing education for clergy.
Salary subsidies
Help with clergy salaries where local parish provision is limited.
Medical insurance
Help with the costs of medical insurance for clergy and their families.
Emergency assistance
Support in cases of illness, death and exceptional circumstances that create urgent need.
Birth and medical treatment of children
Help with costs connected with the birth and medical treatment of clergy children.
Education of clergy children
Help with the education costs of clergy children.
Widowed matushkas and children
Care for widowed matushkas and children after the repose of a clergyman.
Life insurance for clergy
Help with suitable life insurance and its premiums to provide longer-term protection for clergy families.
Clergy education and development
Support for continuing education and professional development of clergy during ministry.
Each request is considered individually
Consideration depends on the person’s circumstances and the Fund’s resources. These areas are not a promise of payment or insurance cover. The Fund is not an insurer; help with insurance costs is considered separately.
Do you need support?
The initial procedure provides for an application from the rector through the dean. You may also send the Fund your contact details and a brief description of the need through the website, so that the next steps can be clarified.
