Giving through your Will

18 June 2021

A gift in your Will is one of the greatest commitments you can make to help provide for the future of our Catholic faith. Pope Francis said, “Authentic faith always involves a deep desire to leave this place a better place than we found it.”

If you need to prepare your Will or have considered supporting the future of your Catholic faith through a gift in your Will, you are invited to a free seminar at The Light of Christ Centre.

Cecilia Castle will be presenting a free education seminar on Wills, Powers of Attorney and Enduring Guardianships, organised by the Diocese. Due to COVID-19 lockdown, this event is now postponed. Everyone is welcome to attend, but numbers are strictly limited. For bookings please contact David Armstrong at david.armstrong@bbcatholic.org.au

“The giving and receiving of a gift are dynamic acts of love! Sometimes we are able to see the reaction of the recipient of our given gift and sometimes not.

As a teacher I have seen first-hand the wonderful acts of love that are transferred on a daily basis. Planned giving and Diocesan Works have always been a regular part of my donation schedule. I am inspired by the direction of funds toward schools such as St Edmund’s and St Lucy’s and the rewarding, yet challenging work of Catechists in our State Schools. It seemed only natural that I would continue the ‘gift of giving’ through a bequest in my will. In this way I believe that others can continue good works of mercy with my support. It is my way to continue to bless their work.” - Kerry Power
