"opus bono sacerdotii is a not-for-profit organization located in lapeer county, michigan. It was founded to serve active, retired, suspended, laicized, and incarcerated catholic priests. Historically, the organization provided spiritual assistance through fraternal support and referrals to experts in various fields who can provide the most appropriate care to a priest in crisis. It provided financial assistance for a wide range of living and legal expenses. In 2019 the opus bono sacerdotii refocused its mission to become a retreat center for catholic priests in crisis to support the spiritual renewal of the catholic priesthood. It continued to provide its historical services to existing "legacy" beneficiaries, with plans to phase out such legacy services over time.”

“Opus bono sacerdotii provides direct financial assistance to and on behalf of active, retired, suspended, laicized, or incarcerated roman catholic priests for a variety of needs, including living expenses (e.g., food, lodging, transportation, job-search costs, healthcare, and automobile insurance and repair), legal expenses associated with canon law (also known as "church law") proceedings, legal expenses associated with secular law proceeding (e.g., criminal and civil actions), prison commissary funds, and expenses related to compliance with parole terms. Direct financial assistance takes two forms: recurring and emergency. Recurring assistance is typically provided to priests who lack enough funds to make ends meet each month. Emergency assistance is provided on an as-needed basis. Priests who receive emergency assistance often become recipients of recurring assistance.”
