Office of Estate Planning Awareness
A planned gift from one’s estate helps ensure that the Church will do the work that you support far into the future, without affecting your assets during lifetime and which may also provide a tax-saving benefit to you. Planned Giving can assist you in making a gift to the diocese (or your parish) from cash, appreciated assets or securities through bequests from one’s will or other charitable instruments, such as annuities or trusts.
