Your legacy gift to the Clergy Trust helps ensure the future care of our priests.

Our priests dedicate their lives to bringing the light of Christ to all those in need. They do not just address the needs of those within their parishes, they strengthen our communities through their ministry, their compassion, their mercy.

Clergy Trust Legacy Society

The CTLS honors individuals who have named the Clergy Trust as a beneficiary in a:

  • will or trust
  • retirement account
  • charitable gift annuity or charitable trust
  • life insurance policy
  • establishment of an endowed fund
  • bank account TOD (Transfer on Death)

These generous benefactors are creating an infrastructure of support that will ensure that our mission continues, and our priests are cared for so they can serve future generations.

As a member, you will be remembered in an annual Mass of Thanksgiving and Remembrance at Regina Cleri.
