An Overview of the Legacy Society
The Legacy Society is a celebration of donors and their generosity. Joining the Legacy Society is entirely voluntary and includes all those who have confirmed their overall intentions in writing. The Legacy Society is one way for the Church to express gratitude to donors for their support during their lifetimes. Becoming a member is also a public way to inspire others.
