A thoughtful and well-planned will is a final statement of a life’s work. It is a way to show love and concern for family members and friends and a means for expressing gratitude to God for blessings bestowed.

Just as you would provide for your personal family in your will, you can also provide for your family of Faith. Only with a will are your wishes known and brought to pass.

The following information may be included in the will of someone wishing to leave a memorial bequest to St. Rose of Lima Parish.

"I give and bequeath the sum of $____________ to the Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Galveston-Houston (corporation sole), for the exclusive use and benefit of St. Rose of Lima Parish (or School, if preferred) in Houston, Texas."

Gifts of stock, real estate, household goods or other possessions may also be specified.

For additional information regarding bequests and other planned giving options contact Kenneth Comerford, Director of Planned Giving, Diocese of Galveston-Houston at 713-659-5461 ext. 418 or kcomerfo@diogh.org.
