Life after retirement

Key points

• Three retired priests met at Saint Joseph's Church in Willunga, as the Clergy Life and Ministry Team helps them through retirement. The team works with about 100 clergy, including 36 retired ones, and focuses on long-term, relationship-based care.
• Priest Peter Milburn recalls parish work across South Australia and his time as a prison chaplain. Bob Wilkinson, who recently moved into residential care, and George Nader, who still serves at two nursing homes, also spoke about their ministries.
• The team says it wants to keep retired clergy connected rather than isolated.
