403b Retirement Plan
The Archdiocese of St. Louis Retirement Plan is a 403b and is offered to all employees. Employees will be contacted via email by Empower who is the plan recordkeeper. Gallagher is the Archdiocese retirement plan advisor.
Empower will email new hires and request you to log into the Empower site to set up your retirement plan account. Employees will be defaulted with a pre-tax 3% contribution of their own funds and have the right to change this amount, change to or add a Roth election, or to opt out of contributing. After one year of service, working 1,000 hours or more, employers will contribute a 5% employer contribution to your retirement account. If you believe you have met this, please speak with your employer who can reach out to the Payroll team.
