Memorials

Parishioners, friends and families may honor the memory of a loved one with a memorial gift to St. John the Baptist Catholic Church and School.  Gifts may be for the general benefit of the parish, school or Angel Fund scholarship program.  Specific gifts may be made at the direction of the family in consultation with the pastor.

Bequests

Each generation of Catholics is given an important mission: how do we pass on the faith to a new generation? Foremost is evangelization—knowing our faith well and sharing it with others. Of equal importance, is the careful and prayerful sharing of our God-given resources.

One of those resources—our assets—includes the things we have accumulated over our lifetime. As Catholics, we believe that our assets and our ability to acquire them are gifts from a loving, generous God. We have a responsibility to use these wisely and prudently - as well as to share them with others - our family certainly, but also with those institutions devoted to spreading God’s reign on earth.

Bequests in wills, charitable gift annuities, trusts, life insurance and gifts of appreciated stock are all planned gifts; gifts that come after much thought and consultation with professional advisors. Legacy gifts benefit the parish by securing support for ministries into the future.

 Please contact Lisa Schoneman, Director of Administrative Services at 920-892-4006 x 302 to discuss honoring your loved one with a bequest or memorial in their honor.
