The Importance of Using Professional Counsel

Catholic Charities always encourages prospective donors to seek the advice of professional counsel concerning the best giving option for them. We would welcome the opportunity to provide you or your attorney with additional information on any of the methods of giving described in this brochure.

A matter of the Utmost Confidentiality

During the past year a number of friends of Catholic Charities wrote, called or told us in person that they were remembering Catholic Charities in their Will. All of them were pleased to find that their bequest made them eligible for both membership and the spiritual gifts that accrue to members of the Good Samaritan Guild.

However, many people do not tell us about their bequest while they are alive. By the time we receive notice from probate or an attorney, it’s too late for us to thank them. If you are one of these “anonymous benefactors,” please let us know so that we can enroll you in the Guild. We won’t ask you any questions about your bequest. We will simply send you your membership information and make certain that you are remembered in the monthly Mass said for members of the Good Samaritan Guild.
