Is it Time to Expand Your Family Circle?

Proverbs 13:22 says, “The good leave an inheritance to their children’s children.” No matter your path, you have the opportunity to live out this verse. It’s a simple concept known as “Child Called Charity” —adding a Catholic parish, cause or ministry you’re deeply connected with to your estate plan as one of your heirs.  For instance, a couple with three children might choose to divide their estate into three equal parts or they could split it into four, ensuring that each child receives a quarter while also designating a share for their extended Church family.

To help get you started, OCF offers a FREE estate planning guide, designed to include your growing family circle.


If you are already eligible for membership, interested in updating your information or simply want to learn more about this meaningful society, we’d love to hear from you and warmly welcome you into this distinguished group. Download and complete our gift of intent form and share it with The Orange Catholic Foundation.
