Strengthening the Future of Our Church

“How can I repay the Lord for all the good done to me?”
Ps 116:12

As Christian stewards we are inspired by the example of our Lord, Jesus Christ to view our many gifts as blessings from God. We are compelled to return those gifts to the Lord with increase. One way we can do that is to help our diocesan Church meet the future needs of others with a gift through our estate. We cannot begin to know what those needs might be, but we can do our part to ensure that the next generation will have a strong Catholic Church to help them celebrate their joys and comfort them in times of difficulty or sorrow.

Did you know that:

• You don't have to use cash to make your gift — donate appreciated securities instead. The deduction is the same as for a cash gift, and you pay no capital gains tax on the transfer.
• Give an asset that may help us more than it's helping you — such as a life insurance policy whose coverage your family no longer needs.
• You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime — name the Arlington Diocese as a beneficiary of your will or revocable trust, or of your retirement plan.

How do I start?

To find out your giving options, go to Gift Plans. Discover the variety of funding choices at Assets to Give. Compare the plans and see which come closest to your needs at Goals & Benefits.
