The seed you plant today will provide comfort, nourishment, and shelter for future generations.

HOW TO LEAVE A LEGACY

CLARIFYING YOUR GOALS

When it comes to our earthly possessions, it is a very personal decision about how we use them to support the Faith.  To help decide what is most important to you, the Office of Stewardship and Development is ready and available to listen and facilitate a conversation to help you accomplish your objectives.  Donations can be structured with contributions given during your lifetime, along with additional support used to create a permanent legacy one day.

  • In what ways has your Catholic faith shaped your life?
  • What matters most to you regarding your legacy?
  • Who are the individuals who have truly influenced your life?
  • What are some of the pillars of the Faith that you want to make sure are maintained?
  • What are the Catholic experiences that you would like to be shared with others?
  • What organizations would you like to become stewards of your resources?
  • Which areas of the campaign – Legacy of Faith Hope & Love – resonate the most?
  • Would you like to give to the Church, Parish, Diocese, School, or Catholic Charities?
  • Would you like to support more than one of these?
  • Would you rather support existing programs or be a catalyst for new initiatives?
  • What do you think is the Church’s greatest need?
  • What do you wish for the future of the Diocese of Nashville
