How to Make a Lasting Gift to the Catholic Church
Did you know there are creative ways you can support the Catholic Church so that you, your loved ones, and the Church can all benefit at the same time?
These giving techniques are called "Legacy gifts", because they allow you to sustain certain ministry or area of the Catholic Church for generations to come.
With a legacy gift you can make a larger impact for the Catholic Church while using none of your on-hand cash now. The tools available to you on this website can take the stress out of making a legacy gift so that you can focus on what matters -- securing a legacy for you, your family, and helping ensure the future of the Catholic Church.
