Estate Planning and Planned Giving

Few people look forward to Estate Planning as it reminds us all of our own mortality. Yet Estate Planning is not just about how you want your assets distributed after you die it is about deciding how much you want to give away while you are still alive. Over the years, St. Thomas the Apostle Church has been the beneficiary of many generous parishioners who have remembered the parish in their long-term estate planning. You may wish to consult your attorney on how to make St. Thomas the Apostle Church a beneficiary of your Will, or Trust or IRA.
