World-wide and US Disaster Relief Fund: Rockford Diocese Response   top of page

Whenever a natural disaster occurs and/or a significant need exists, The Most Reverend Bishop Malloy receives numerous petitions for financial assistance from his brother bishops in the affected area. With the creation of this fund, he has resources available to respond on behalf of the people of the Rockford Diocese. This past year, Bishop Malloy distributed $40,000 to the people in Haiti to aid those who are starving, without medical care and to help rebuild the country’s infrastructure.


Rockford Diocesan Priests' Pension Plan (DPP)   top of page
The Rockford Diocese is blessed to currently have 48 retired priests, most of whom continue to serve the diocese faithfully by celebrating the liturgy, ministering to the sick, visiting hospitals, and much more.

It is the goal of the Diocese to provide comfort and support to priests who have served unselfishly in God’s mission. This benefit will assist our aging and disabled priests to maintain human dignity until God calls them unto Him.
