Gift in Your Will or Trust

By including a gift in your will or trust, you can provide lasting support for the mission and ministries of our parish while ensuring your loved ones are cared for first.

Benefits to You:

•You keep full use and control of your assets during your lifetime.

•Your gift can be changed at any time if your circumstances or wishes change.

•Your estate may receive tax advantages, which can benefit your heirs.

•It is often as simple as adding a single sentence to your will or trust.
