A Gift in Your Will

We hope you'll consider including a gift to St. Cecilia Catholic Church and School in your will or living trust. Called a charitable bequest, this type of gift offers these main benefits:

• Simplicity. Just a few sentences in your will or trust are all that is needed. Include the following language in your will: 

• Flexibility. Because you are not actually making a gift until after your lifetime, you can change your mind at any time.
• Versatility. You can structure the bequest to leave a specific item or amount of money, make the gift contingent on certain events, or leave a percentage of your estate to us.
• Tax Relief. If your estate is subject to estate tax, your gift is entitled to an estate tax charitable deduction for the gift's full value.
• Peace of Mind. You can name St. Cecilia Catholic Church and School as the executor to carry out the desires expressed in your will.
