At St. Columbkille we believe that giving is an act of worshiping God. Each of us has been blessed by God and entrusted with many gifts from Him. We are all called to receive God’s gifts gratefully, to cherish and tend these gifts, to share them in justice and love with others and to return them with increase to the Lord.

Part of our responsibility as stewards of God’s gifts includes what is sometimes referred to as our “final act of stewardship” – the creation of our estate plan.  Our estate plan is part of our legacy, enabling us to use those gifts that have been given to us to provide for our loved ones in the future. We also have the opportunity to give witness to the importance of our faith and express our gratitude to God by making a gift to the Church that strengthens our parish for future generations.

There are many ways that you can make a legacy gift, whether by including us in your will, naming the parish as a partial or contingent beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance policy, or with a simple payable on death designation of a bank account.  We recommend that you work with your trusted financial advisors to determine what is right for you.
