How Will You Pass On Your Catholic Legacy?
Just as we plan to ensure financial health for our families, we must plan for the health of our "faith families." Your planned gift to our fund held at The Catholic Foundation will provide financial support for the many generations to come.
What a wonderful way to steward your finances to pass along your faith and love for your parish. Our faith is a treasure... Pass It On!
For a free consultation about the advantages of making a planned gift to The Catholic Foundation for the benefit of your parish or favorite Catholic organization, please contact Jean Finegan at the Foundation at 303.867.0613 or visit www.TheCatholicFoundation.com.
Consider this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. - 2CORINTHIANS 9:6
