As you may know we have established two endowment funds, one for our parish and one for our school. Making a planned gift (a gift that comes from assets rather than income, either during lifetime or upon death) will help secure the long-term future of our parish and our school. Planned gifts are indeed “gifts that keeps on giving.”
Please join us at a “Planned Giving” Forum on Wednesday, February 27th at 7:00 pm in the Parish Center.
A representative of the Roman Catholic Foundation will be discussing the benefits of Charitable Gift Giving for you and the Parish. Members of the SMMA Planned Giving Committee will be present to answer any questions that you may have.
Our goal at this forum is to inform and educate our parishioners. Your spouse and/or your adult family members (children, nephews, nieces or anyone you think will benefit from this forum) are welcome to join you at this event. No formal solicitation or commitment will be a part of this meeting.
Please RSVP by calling the Parish Office, by February 22nd, so that we may have an accurate count. Light refreshments will be served.
Blessings,
 Msgr. Norb Ernst – Pastor
