Leave a legacy

At Saint Philip’s Annual Meeting on Sunday, February 19, Fr Robert and Treasurer, Herb Burton, explained that contributions are made annually to the Ministry Endowment Funds Trust (MEFT) and the Preservation and Endowment Foundation (P&E). These contributions are critical for augmenting stewardship gifts. Both MEFT and P&E attribute most of their growth to planned gifts from generous parishioners; this program is called Legacies of Faith.

Gifts that are part of Legacies of Faith name Saint Philip’s as a beneficiary of a will, trust, retirement account, or life insurance policy. The donations can be designated for a particular facet of parish life or unrestricted. One type of restricted gift, a gift to endowment, is managed by MEFT and P&E. These gifts are invested and the earnings from the investments support the church in perpetuity.

There are a number of individuals and couples who have shared their planned giving intentions with Saint Philip’s. The parish gratefully acknowledges the following parishioners who have made plans for Legacies of Faith.
