The Future of
St. Theodore Fund
What is
The Future of
St. Theodore Fund?
The primary purpose of this fund is to help provide for the future church at St. Theodore. Through a gift in your will, trust, retirement account, or estate plan, you can help ensure that future generations will have a vibrant parish community in which to worship, grow, and serve.
Planned giving is a stewardship opportunity available to everyone. Whether you choose to designate a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or another form of planned gift, every contribution helps strengthen the future of our parish.
As faithful stewards of these gifts, the fund includes a 20-year provision to ensure your generosity will always benefit St. Theodore. Should the construction of a future church no longer be part of the parish’s vision at that time, funds will be directed toward the ongoing needs and mission of St. Theodore Parish. In this way, your gift will continue to support our parish community and its ministries.
