13. RESTRICTED FUNDS (Continued)
Ecclesiastical Education
This fund meets the costs of students at Seminaries training to be priests for the Archdiocese and ongoing training for Clergy.
Clergy Support Fund
A legacy specifically restricted to helping clergy in need has been invested and the income is applied to the Clergy Support
Fund. This income is insufficient to meet the needs of the Fund. As annual expenditure is invariably considerably in excess
of the income generated and is met from a specific parish assessment and allocations from Unrestricted Funds, all the
income and expenditure is shown in the Unrestricted Funds column of the Statement of Financial Activities. The Fund also
received £261,460arising from the Clergy Support Fundraising Campaign and all of this was expended in the period in supporting
the Archdiocese’s sick and retired priests.
