Planned Giving

Leaving a Legacy of Faith

Planned Giving offers a meaningful way to leave a lasting legacy of faith. Through your generosity, you help ensure that Saint Mark continues to thrive for generations to come- supporting our ministries, maintaining our sacred spaces, and nurturing the spiritual lives of all who gather here.  Your legacy is a gift to the future of our faith community.

Estate Planning 101: For parents, professionals and everyone in between!

Do you want to:

  • Provide security for your family and loved ones?
  • Remember loved ones in a tangible way?
  • Designate who will manage your estate?
  • Reduce estate taxes and administrative expenses?
  • Coordinate estate planning with your overall financial plan?


St Mark will host an Estate Planning Seminar on Thursday, October 23rd at 6:30pm in the Parish Hall.

An estate attorney, along with members of the Diocesan Planned Giving Office, will provide information and insights which will ensure your legacy while safeguarding your family and loved ones.  Bring your questions and learn more about this important topic.  Light refreshments will be served.
