Planned Giving
"Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal."
At Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Parish and School, we are devoted to putting all hearts on a collision course with the Sacred Heart of Jesus through the practice of our 5-foundations and Catholic education. By including Sacred Heart in your estate plans, you ensure that the faith which has sustained you continues to grow and flourish for generations to come.
Your legacy will help us pass on the love of Jesus and the teachings of His Church—through the celebration of the Sacraments and the nurturing of young hearts and minds in our school.
Why Consider a Planned Gift?
Planned giving is a prayerful way to steward what God has given you by making a future gift to the parish and school you love. These gifts offer flexibility, may provide tax benefits, and have a lasting impact on:
- Sacramental life and liturgy
- Catholic education and formation
- Youth ministry and outreach
- Marriage enrichment and all other parish/school ministries
Ways to Leave a Legacy
- Bequests in your will or trust
- Naming Sacred Heart as a beneficiary of your retirement plan
- Donating life insurance or annuities
- Gifts through charitable trusts or donor-advised funds
- Legacy gifts that pay income during your lifetime
