Attached, please find the bulletin notes for the month of September in English and Spanish.
The bulletin notes for September focus on making a gift of appreciated stock to the parish endowment fund. Giving stock can provide tax benefits to your parishioners.
We’ve also included a note for the Deo Gratias Society Mass and Celebration that will be on Saturday, September 18. The Deo Gratias Society includes anyone who has named a parish, Catholic school or Catholic ministry in their will or estate plan. Please help us to celebrate these individuals for their commitment to the Catholic community.
Please consider using these notes in your bulletin to encourage planned gifts to your parish endowment fund, which will benefit your parish forever. Graphic versions of these bulletin notes are available on our website at cfnga.org/resources/parish-resources. You can also share these graphics on social media.
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.
Yours in Christ,
Juliet Greco Director of Major and Planned Giving jgreco@cfnga.org |
