Planned Giving Bulletin Announcements
“How shall I make a return to the Lord for all he has
done for me?” Psalm 116:12
As we are examining our lives during lent, it is a
good time to also examine all we own. Do we need
to clean house? Do you own something you no
longer need but could help the Church? That
something may be an old life insurance policy. You
can give your no longer needed insurance policies
to St. Joseph Parish. If the policy has a cash value,
you may also get a tax deduction. For more
information, contact the rectory or call the Office of
Planned Giving at (305) 762-1110.
