CONSIDER A LEGACY GIFT
Giving is central to our Catholic faith. God has given us the gifts of life, faith and material possessions. He is pleased when we share those blessings to spread His word and help those suffering poverty, illiteracy, sickness and injustice.
In addition to regular giving throughout our lifetime, Legacy Giving is a beautiful way to continue serving Him and our parish after we pass. Sharing the material things we leave behind insures our spiritual legacy.
THE NEED
For 150 years our generosity has empowered St. Philip to do countless spiritual and charitable good works, however the challenges we face today provide opportunity for us to do more. Your legacy gift will increase our ability to help more individuals and families in need.
Currently, about 66% of your donations support our spiritual, charitable and educational ministries and programs with the remaining 34% used to maintain our facilities and staff.
TAKE ACTION
1. LEARN MORE
Attend a St. Philip Legacy Giving Seminar.
2. CREATE AN ESTATE PLAN
List your assets. Then consult an estate planning attorney to create an estate plan that includes a will or trust naming St. Philip as a beneficiary. Also consult your tax advisor and/ or financial planner for guidance to optimize the tax efficiency of your legacy giving. Ensure your beneficiary designations are current and consistent in all insurance and financial accounts.
3. SHARE YOUR DECISION
The amount you plan to give will remain confidential, but do let us know if you plan to leave a legacy gift.
