Leave a Legacy of Love for the Poor

 
There are many ways to provide for the security of those you love and still create a lasting legacy. A will or a trust can provide you this opportunity.

Did you know 50% of Americans have no will or trust?

Without documentation in a will, trust or beneficiary designation, state law determines how your assets are divided with no provisions for your friends, favorite charities, church or the community. Click here to download the Sisters of Charity Legacy Brochure »

The ministries sponsored by the Sister of Charity provide services of healthcare, housing, food, education, immigration services, advocacy and spiritual care. Our sisters and brothers in need, those whom society may forget, are greeted with compassion and a philosophy and values that ask, “what can I do for you?” We continue to sponsor programs of service done in our name, fostering the enduring spirit of charity of Vincent and Elizabeth. A deferred gift can continue this vital work and leave a lasting legacy.
