Legacy and Planned Giving
Making a Difference Today and... Tomorrow....
Our vision is to provide a venue for parishioners, alumni, and friends of Nativity of Mary Catholic Church & School to make remembrance gifts for long-term support of parish and school programs of their selection.
Since 1949, Nativity of Mary has celebrated God's love through faith experiences and programs involving worship, ministry, education, social justice, and community outreach. The quality of these experiences and programs is due to the generous financial and volunteer support of the entire parish.
As Nativity of Mary looks toward the future, we must adopt to the changing needs and new demands by implementing a new vision. For this vision to become a reality, a steady source of income must be maintained.
You have the opportunity to leave an indelible mark on the lives of others bringing them hope for years to come. Your legacy can support our community by including a gift provision for Nativity in your Will through a specific asset, dollar amount or percentage of your estate.
"We have chosen to be long-term supporters of Nativity by contributing to the Endowment Fund.
We know our gift will be multiplied and used effectively for future needs."
- Tom & Jan S.
