What is Legacy Planning?
Leave a Legacy
Legacy planning is financial and estate planning to decide where your assets go at a later time. It is for most adults, no matter their income or age. If you own property or care for minors, then it is of particular importance. God has entrusted His gifts to you. Good stewardship also involves good estate planning, taking care of the needs of loved ones and the organizations you value.
Legacy giving allows individuals to give from their assets and not just from their income and, in many cases, allows people to make gifts they never dreamed possible in ways they may have never considered. The result? Donors are provided with another means to express the profound love they have for St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish. They have been empowered to sustain the faith even after their lifetime. Our legacy planning partner, the Catholic Foundation in the Archdiocese of Dubuque (CFAD), has many resources on legacy giving. You can access them at OurCFAD.org. You can contact the Foundation with questions at 563-552-0176.

What will your legacy be?
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”
(John 3:16)
You are invited to become a member of the St. Elizabeth An Seton Legacy Community (SEAS Legacy Community). The SEAS Legacy Community Committee created a way in which parishioners can formalize their intentions of leaving a gift to the parish upon their death. The SEAS Legacy Community provides you (and/or your spouse) an opportunity to make your intentions known to the parish prior to your passing. Prayerfully consider helping our parish, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish, to have “eternal life.”
To become a member of the SEAS Legacy Community, we ask that you communicate your intention to bequeath a gift of $5000 or more to the parish at the time of your death. You have the ability to direct your gift to a general endowment or to an educational endowment fund. You can provide your intention through the Legacy Community Statement of Intent form.

If you are interested or have questions, please feel free to contact a committee member for additional information.
