While God can’t be outdone in generosity, the Gospel asks all of us to give generously of our gifts in thanksgiving for God’s generosity and goodness. Your gift to the Centennial Campaign: Building Our Future Together is an opportunity to leave a legacy for generations to come. Your gift supports the following:
Each person’s financial situation differs from others. The Centennial Campaign seeks sacrificial gifts and pledges over a five-year period from all parishioners, so that our Church may continue to maintain its important role in the lives of so many. Gifts can be accepted in a variety of forms, with an emphasis on those that can be used immediately. All gifts are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by the law.
If your company has a matching gift program, you may be able to enhance the impact of your gift by requesting a matching gift form from your company and including it with your pledge card.
Donors may also consider remembering the Diocese of Lafayette through a will, trust, life insurance policy or annuities. By leaving a legacy you provide for future generations.
Gifts of stock to the campaign can be a source of significant tax benefit to the donor by eliminating capital gains taxes. Any gift of stock will be sold as soon as it is received and the value of the gift will be determined at the time of transfer.
