Honoring the Priests Who Have Faithfully Served Our Archdiocese
Join us for the 16th Annual Priests Retirement Luncheon on October 30, 2026, as we come together to celebrate and support the retired priests of the Archdiocese of San Francisco.
This special event helps provide for the ongoing needs of our retired priests who have dedicated their lives to serving God’s people through ministry, pastoral care, education, and spiritual guidance.
2026 Honorees
We are pleased to honor:
- Rev. Ulysses D’Aquila
- Rev. Lawrence Goode
The Priests Retirement Luncheon is one of the highlights of the year and is integral to the Archdiocese’s ability to care for our retired Priests. Over $3,000,000 has been raised since the Luncheon began in 2011. Without this tremendous support, our retired Priests would not receive the care they need and deserve. On behalf of everyone committed to caring for our retired Priests, we offer our most sincere thanks for your support.
If you are not able to attend, but would like to donate,

Caring for Our Retired Priests
For decades, priests have faithfully served our parishes, schools, hospitals, ministries, and communities. Even after retirement, many continue to provide spiritual guidance and pastoral support whenever they are able. As they age, however, their needs often increase, including healthcare, assisted living, and retirement support.
Why should we support the Priests Retirement Fund?
Our priests have dedicated their lives to serving others. They have been with us and those we love for many of life’s most precious moments, from birth to death, showing us the love and compassion of God. They have baptized us, taught us, preached the Gospel to us, and led our parish communities. They have heard our sins, blessed us with absolution, and brought us the Eucharistic gift of Christ Himself. They have witnessed our weddings, comforted us in illness, officiated our funerals, and always been there, in both our times of distress and our moments of celebration. In their retirement years, these men of God need and deserve our help.
