Please find the bulletin notes in English and Spanish for the month of October.
We would like to request that you include the additional highlight for #iGiveCatholic 2020.
For the last several months, we have encouraged planned giving in terms of gifts anyone can make – regardless of income or wealth. In October, the focus is on making a gift from your retirement plan or 401(k), which does not affect your parishioner’s cash flow now and can save their children from taxes later, as well as giving from appreciated securities.
Please consider using these notes in your parish bulletin to encourage planned gifts to your parish endowment fund, which will benefit your parish forever.
Some parishes have indicated that they would prefer a simple business card size graphic that they can just place in their bulletin. We are providing both formats to fit your parish’s needs! These graphics are also available on our website at https://www.cfnga.org/resources/parish-resources/.
We would like to work with you to increase your parish endowment fund, and we would like to make it as easy as possible to do so. These bulletin notes are just one way to communicate planned giving to your parishioners.
If you have any questions, please contact me at jgreco@cfnga.org or (404) 497-9440.
