Saying "Yes" to Future Generations
In her Magnificat, Mary proclaimed her "Yes" to God's call, embracing her role as the Mother of God and of all future generations. Inspired by her example, members of the Magnificat Bequest Society also say "Yes" to God's call by committing to support future generations within the Catholic community of Northeast Indiana.
Named in honor of Our Lady, the patroness of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, the Magnificat Bequest Society celebrates and thanks those generous individuals who have made planned gifts or established endowments with the Catholic Community Foundation. These gifts ensure the lasting vitality of our parishes, schools and diocesan organizations.
You are invited to join the Society if you have named through the Catholic Community Foundation, your parish, school, and/or other Catholic ministry as a beneficiary of:
- Your will or trust
- Annuity
- Life Insurance Policy
- Retirement Assets
BECOME A MAGNIFICAT BEQUEST SOCIETY MEMBER. GIVE US A CALL AND FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE SOCIETY AND HOW YOU CAN BE A PART OF JOYFUL GIVING.
