Ensure the future of St. Michael Parish
through Legacy Giving.

A legacy gift can take many forms and can be of great benefit in helping fulfill your personal financial objectives. 

Gift from a Will or a Living Trust
A gift from a will or a living trust are two of the most common ways to create a legacy gift for the benefit of the parish.  A bequest may include cash, specific property, or a share of the estate.

Gifts of Stock and Appreciated Assets
Donating stocks, bonds, or mutual funds directly to our parish can significantly increase your tax deduction and the amount of income our parish receives.

Gifts from Your Retirement Plan
Gifts of retirement assets are another simple way to leave a gift by naming our parish as beneficiary of a percentage or the full amount of your Individual Retirement Account (IRA), 401k, or other qualified retirement plan.

Gifts of Life Insurance
There are many ways in which life insurance policies can be used to make a contribution, all of which provide tax deductions and the opportunity to make a more substantial gift than otherwise possible.  It is easy to name St. Michael Parish as the beneficiary of a policy or transfer ownership of a paid-up policy to our parish.

Gifts of Real Estate
Our parish may be named as beneficiary or co-beneficiary to almost any type of personal property or real estate.
 

 
St. Michael Parish honors individuals and families who are transforming the work and witness of the Church through their generosity.  If you have already included our parish in your estate plan, we would like to enroll you as our newest Lumen Christi Legacy Society member. 
 
Lumen Christi means Light of Christ, which is the light in all things, which gives life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed.  This power is an influence for good in the lives of all people and members of the Lumen Christi Legacy Society share in this purpose.    
 
Membership in the Lumen Christi Legacy Society is simple.

To our surprise, the first gift to this Fund was received in December 2017.

Angela D'Allessandro, who died in October of that year, led an active parish life at St. Michael Parish for many years.  She served on the Parish Council, as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, and several other ministries.  With her generous heart, she willingly helped out in many ways.
