Ensure the Future of St. Michael  through Legacy Giving

A legacy gift can take many forms and can be of great benefit in helping fulfill your personal financial objectives.  We hope that you will give prayerful consideration to helping us shape the parish that our children, grandchildren, and future generations will experience.

Types of Giving & Gifts
 

Gift from a Will or Living Trust

A gift from a will or living trust are two of the most common ways to create a legacy gift for the benefit of hte 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 St. Michael Catholic Church can significantly increase your tax deduction and the amount of income our parish receives.

Gifts from your Retirement Plan

 
Members of the Lumen Christi Legacy Society are fulfilling our call to walk in the Light of Christ and create a legacy that lights the future. 

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.  Complete the Intention Form.

 

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 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.
