English term or phrase: in good standing

I am translating a fund-raising pamphlet for an endowment for retired priests. It states that the priest must be "in good standing," but none of the translations I have found really seem to fill the bill.

It means that the priest has done his duty, has never been defrocked or had any accusations made against him. He is looked upon favorably by the church. He is not a member in good standing nor an attorney in good standing with the bar.

For context, the entire sentence reads as follows: "The purpose of the the Endowment for the Care of Retired Priests is to provide a long-term source of funding to meet the future care needs of retired priests in good standing who have faithfully served the Catholics in the Diocese of XXXXX.

Any suggestion?
