Bequests

A bequest is a well know way to make a significate charitable gift to your Church or the Archdiocese. Naming your Church in your Will provides you with this one-time opportunity to create a legacy that will make an impact to your community and ensures the continuation of your Catholic beliefs.
                
General Bequest
                Left to certain causes from the general value of the estate.  These are made by a specific designation:  a dollar amount, a certain asset or a                                   percentage.
 
Specific Bequest
               A particular item or property is left for a designated purpose. An example would be a dollar amount used for a specific ministry or to help restore a                 church.
 
Residual Bequest
              Leave the residue portion of your estate to charity after other items of the Will have been taken care of.
 
Contingency Bequest
               Leave a portion of your estate to the charity if other beneficiaries do not survive you.
