EPIPHANY JANUARY 06, 2013
THE DIFFERENCE YOU CAN MAKE
What can you do now that won’t cost you anything but still
help the parish? One way is through your estate planning.
Most people have families they need to provide for and that
is extremely important. Perhaps some portion of your estate
could be given to Saint Pascal. Here’s how you can do it:
Name Saint Pascal to receive part of your IRA. Just ask the
custodian or trustee for a new beneficiary form.
Make a life insurance gift. Your insurance agent can supply
a beneficiary form that names Saint Pascal as a beneficiary
for all or part of the policy.
Investigate P.O.D. accounts. In most areas, you can name
Saint Pascal to receive CD’s or savings accounts at death,
often called P.O.D. (pay on death) accounts.
Leave part of your stock portfolio. Brokerage accounts generally
will permit investors to name beneficiaries for securities
held at the firm.
Add Saint Pascal when you make or amend your will. It’s
another wonderful way you can leave a legacy for Saint
Pascal!
If you have a revocable living trust, include Saint Pascal as
a beneficiary. Any immediate gifts made through your living
trust are tax deductible.
Finally, when naming Saint Pascal as your beneficiary, the
correct language is: “I give (a percentage or dollar amount)
to the Catholic Bishop of Chicago – A Corporation Sole, for
the sole benefit of Saint Pascal Parish, Chicago.” When
named in this way, the money will be used exclusively to
benefit our parish.
REMINDER TO ALL ORGANIZATIONS
When checking out keys in the rectory, if you are not
given a green room condition sheet, please ask for one.
This sheet must be filled out and returned with the key.
It is one of the ways the maintenance staff can be made
aware of things that need fixing.
Save the Dates!!
