A charitable legacy begins with a different kind of question: What do you hope will continue because you were here?

Parish. Catholic education. Care for those in need. A beloved ministry. Future generations.

CFGP can help donors turn those hopes into a charitable plan that carries their Catholic values forward.

Today, on All Souls’ Day, we remember all the faithful departed—our loved ones and all who have gone before us. We pray for them and entrust them to God’s mercy, holding our sorrow together with the hope of the Resurrection.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

An estate plan can do more than provide for loved ones. It can also express your enduring commitment to the Catholic faith and the parishes, schools, and ministries that have shaped your life.

As National Estate Planning Awareness Week comes to a close, we invite you to consider whether a legacy gift to a Catholic ministry or organization belongs in your plans.

We are pleased to offer complimentary access to FreeWill, where you can create or update your will and explore the option of including a charitable gift.

Already included a Catholic organization or ministry in your will? We would love to hear from you and welcome you into our Legacy Society.

As Catholics, we are called to be faithful stewards of all we have been given, including the responsibility to prepare thoughtfully for life's later chapters.

Estate planning offers an opportunity to ensure your wishes are known and your decisions reflect your values. This includes documenting your healthcare preferences in keeping with Catholic teaching.

We are grateful to offer FreeWill at no cost to you, helping you take an important step toward a plan that reflects your wishes and your faith.

It’s always rewarding to see philanthropy open doors for the next generation — especially when it helps a young person grow in faith, character, and purpose.

Congratulations to Shane Williams, a freshman at Mercy Career & Technical High School and this year’s recipient of the Larry Perzan Vocational High School Scholarship.

Shane came to Mercy from St. Rose of Lima Philadelphia, a part of Independence Mission Schools, and believes a Mercy education can help prepare him for a successful career – possibly in both Business and the Building Trades programs. Outside the classroom, Shane enjoys flag football and basketball.

Most importantly, he is beginning his Mercy journey in a community that will help him develop not only the skills for a career, but also the faith and values to guide him along the way.

Interested in helping more students like Shane? Gifts to the Larry Perzan Scholarship Fund help provide opportunities for young people to pursue a Mercy education and prepare for their future.

Make your impact today: https://www.thecfgp.org/funds/larry-perzan-vocational-high-school-scholarship-fund

Congratulations, Shane! We’re excited to see where your Mercy journey takes you.
