Thank you so very very much for the 13th Check. With car insurance in November and taxes in December, it was very appreciated.

-Inscription on a Christmas card from a 2019 13th Check recipient

The first official 13th Check was written 44 years ago—in 1975. In that moment, men and women who had given their lives in service to Christ’s Church, and who now stood in financial need, were reminded that they had not been forgotten, and that a grateful Church stood by their side.

This is entirely due to the generosity of donors like you; and, at Pension Fund, we could not be more grateful for the opportunity we have to steward your generosity. In 2019 alone, 130 servants received a 13th Check. Collectively, those checks total over $134,000. On their behalf, we thank you.
