Many people feel a deep gratitude for the presence of the Capuchin friars in their lives – through prayer, pastoral care, and service to those most in need. One thoughtful way to express that gratitude is through planned giving, which helps ensure the friars can continue their good works for generations to come.

​

A planned gift is not about parting with something today. Rather, it is a thoughtful expression of faith and stewardship – a way to care for what matters most, both for your loved ones and for the lives and ministries of the Capuchin friars that you hold dear.

What is Planned Giving?

Planned giving simply means making a charitable gift as part of your overall financial or estate planning. These gifts are often arranged with the help of an attorney or financial advisor and may be made during your lifetime or in the future.

 

Many planned gifts:

  • Cost nothing today

  • Are fully revocable

  • Can be adjusted as your circumstances change

  • Allow you to make a lasting impact while still providing for family

Why Consider a Planned Gift?

A planned gift allows you to:

  • ​Support the Capuchin friars beyond your lifetime

  • Align your faith, values, and resources

  • Care wisely for assets you may never fully use

  • Leave a legacy rooted in prayer, service, and the Gospel

 
For some, a planned gift is their largest charitable contribution. For others, it is simply a quiet, intentional act of generosity and affirmation. Both are deeply valued.

A Note of Gratitude

Those who choose to remember the Capuchin friars in their plans are welcomed into our legacy society, the Capuchin Heritage Circle, where they are remembered with gratitude and prayer. Your generosity – whether shared today or planned for the future – helps sustain the friars’ ministry of faith, service, and a life dedicated to the Gospel.
