The Catholic Community Foundation (CCF) extends its utmost gratitude to everyone who took advantage of the My Catholic Will service we launched during this past August’s Make-a-Will Month.
We are thrilled to share that over 100 individuals created or updated their wills through this free service, resulting in more than $10 million in future gifts directed to a variety of benefitting entities and ministries within the Archdiocese of Baltimore. These generous commitments will support parishes, schools, vocations, evangelization efforts, charitable outreach, and the Annual Appeal for Catholic Ministries.
Though August has passed, My Catholic Will remains available to you to use year-round at no cost. The process is simple, takes only about 15 minutes to complete, and while we are deeply grateful for any bequests that help strengthen our Catholic community, please know that including the Archdiocese or CCF in your estate plans is entirely optional.
Secure your legacy, support your faith. 🕊️ Explore CCFMD’s planning resources. Everything from estate planning to charitable gift tools to help you plan with purpose and generosity.
As household budgets tighten, some families find it challenging to keep their children in a Catholic school. Thanks to the Marilyn H. Reinhardt Endowment Fund and the Nellie Agnes Arnold Scholarship Endowment Fund, more than 20 families at St. John Catholic School have been able to continue their children’s education.
One family’s father is battling Parkinson’s and both parents still work full-time. Another saw drastically reduced work hours—yet thanks to these endowments, their children remained enrolled.
“These funds are helping some of our families … who really want their children to have a Catholic education.” — Stephanie Rattell
