"Where your treasure is, there also will your heart be."
---Matthew 6:21
Legacy Sunday is an invitation to reflect on the values and faith you wish to pass on to future generations. Through thoughtful planning, you can care for your loved ones, ensure your wishes are honored, and leave a legacy that reflects your faith and gratitude for God's blessings.
What is leagacy planning?
Legacy planning is the process of preparing for the future by creating or updating important documents such as a will, trust, powers of attorney, beneficiary designations and health care directives. It provides peace of mind for you and your family while ensuring your intentions are clearly communicated.
I don't consider myself wealthy. Is legacy planning still important?
Absolutely. Legacy planning is not about the size of your estate--it is about caring for the people and causes that matter most to you. Every adult should have a plan in place, regardless of age or financial circumstances.
Can I include my parish or another Catholic ministry in my plans?
Many Catholics choose to include their parish or Catholic ministry in their estate plans after providing for their loved ones. These planned gifts become a lasting expression of faith and gratitude and help ensure that the ministries they cherish today continue to serve future generations.
Where can I learn more?
The Hawaii Catholic Community Foundation is available to provide educational resources and information about: Wills and trusts, Powers of attorney, Beneficary designations, Charitable gift planning, Health care directives, Other legacy planning resources.
