Remembering the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth in Your Estate Plans

Is there a Sister of the Holy Family of Nazareth (CSFN) who was influential in your life? One who helped you become the person you are? Maybe she taught you during your school days or prayed for you during a difficult time in your life?

A wonderful way to honor her or her memory is by remembering the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth in your estate plans.

When you notify us that you have remembered the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth in your estate plans, you qualify for membership in the Nazareth Legacy Society. This Society is our way of recognizing and thanking you for your future gift. 

How Will your Gift Make a Difference?

We know the world needs and will continue to need our CSFN Sisters and their ministries to families. 

Your estate gift will help ensure that we will have the necessary financial resources to provide these ministries.

Your gift will also assist in supporting our elder sisters who have given their lives in service to the people of God.

And you will have the knowledge that your philanthropic goals and values will live on through the good works of our community.

Your Personal Legacy

Remembering a favorite charity in a Will or Trust is a very effective way to ensure that an organization's work - work you valued and supported in your lifetime - will be continued into the future.

By leaving a legacy gift, your values will live on in the good works of your favorite charity. We recommend that you consult with your financial advisor to assist you in planning your estate.
