Legacy Giving

When you include a gift to a Catholic ministry in your trust or will, you are not only making a meaningful gift but also making a clear declaration to your loved ones about the work that Christ has done in your life.

A legacy plan and gift are thoughtful, prayer-filled ways to communicate how your closely held values and Catholic faith can be passed on to the next generation. In your trust or will, you can make a bequest, a gift of money, property or assets, to your loved ones and to the Catholic causes that mean the most to you. There are tax benefits and consequences that may need to be considered.
