Once you are signed up you can send in a one time donation or you can set up a recurring weekly donation so you will never forget your contributions to Divine Mercy ever again. People take vacations and sometimes forget to drop in the weekly envelopes but our parish expenses don't take vacations.
What is a Charitable Gift Annuity?
A charitable gift annuity is a charitable giving tool that provides you with a fixed income for life and leaves a lasting gift to the Divine Mercy Parish.
In addition, two tax benefits add value to the gift annuity. First, you may receive an income tax deduction in the year you create a gift annuity. Second, part of each annuity payment you receive will be tax-free!
A charitable gift annuity makes it possible for you to increase your cash flow for the rest of your life (or the life of a loved one), and eventually benefit Divine Mercy Parish.
This is one way to put your treasure where your heart is - in your parish - and still take care of your needs and those of your family.

So you haven't made a will? Join the crowd! In any given year, over 50% of Americans have not yet written one. Nevertheless, you do have a will: the state wrote it for you years ago, but you may not like what it says or how it divides your possessions!
Writing a will is essential if you want to control what happens to your family and possessions after death. Appointing trustees and executors, naming guardians for young children and dependents, and deciding how you would like your worldly goods to be distributed will give you peace of mind and relieved your loved ones of the burden of those decisions.

There are so many good things you can accomplish through a bequest to Divine Mercy Parish. if the parish has been your spiritual home, please give careful thought to leaving a portion of your assets to the parish.
Memorial Opportunities
There are many opportunities for including memorial bequests for your parish in your Will. Your bequest can honor your family name, your parents, a pastor, teacher, or a very special person whose influence in your life was significant.
Five Reasons for Having a Will
A bequest in your will can mean expression of your faith and love of God and your parish. Through your will, you can extend and strengthen your parish to build God's kingdom on earth even after you're gone. You can assist future generations to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit."
